What is a culturally responsive classroom and how does a culturally responsive teaching affect a classroom?
A culturally responsive classroom is one that reflects and respects the diverse backgrounds, traditions and experiences of all students.

This creates a more neuroinclusive learning environment and encourages students to connect with the material in a meaningful way.
