If You Create It, You Can Cultivate It: Culturally Relevant Pedagogical Practices for the Classroom

 

Presenter: Lorainne I. Rodríguez Vargas

Session Type: Workshop

Topic: Identities and intersectionality

Description

Latinx communities in the USA and in the world are increasingly being recognized for their richness and complexities. This session will provide educators with insights to continue advancing their mindfulness of these identities and the role of cultural and racial identity in student learning. In this session, the first aim will be to provide information related to the concept, origin and value of culturally relevant pedagogy (CRP). In this effort we will discuss how CRP came to be, citing the literature. We will review studies that utilized CRP and highlight its effectiveness in creating inclusive classroom environments. We will provide insight too, on how those studies implemented CRP. The second aim of the session will be to provide instructors with some exercises that will help them create more inclusive classroom environments using the CRP framework.
