Welcome to Our Website
This website is intended to share research, resources, and examples of cultural responsive approaches to teaching. We hope that you take away a deeper understanding of culturally responsive teaching and find yourself connected to a broader community of educators dedicated to affirming the backgrounds of our students.
At the same time, we also hope to point out the many challenges and pitfalls in attempting to operate from this complex perspective. We hope that you find space here to engage in a praxis of action and reflection, while paying heed to the common sense warning: "Don't Fake The Funk."
