The Culturally Responsive Classroom: 101

Culture can shape the way a person grows and learns. We must consider the nuances of who our students are and what they have experienced.

As arts educators, whether we work with children or adults, we must include content that embraces and celebrates a variety of cultures. In order to do this, we must get to know our students and their backgrounds so we may choose examples of artists, authors, and projects that are related to their cultural experiences.
