Culturally Relevant Pedagogies

Culturally relevant pedagogy draws on all students’ cultural backgrounds as resources for learning. In STEM, this approach helps educators to address the cultural inequities that impact certain students’ opportunities for success.  This pathway introduces culturally relevant pedagogy and its three components—student achievement, cultural competence, and critical consciousness—and outlines their benefits in STEM classrooms. Educators will discover practical strategies to integrate this approach into their teaching practices, fostering more inclusive, engaging, and effective learning experiences for all students.  This pathway forms part of the Advancing Equity in STEM through Inclusive Teaching cluster. See our equity pledge as part of this initiative.
