Culturally relevant teaching

Culturally relevant teaching is when teachers try to connect with their students’ cultures and backgrounds to help them learn better. It means that teachers think about what their students like and where they come from when they plan their lessons and activities. It helps students feel more welcomed, valued, and respected in the classroom. For example, if a teacher knows that most of their students like music, they might use songs to teach lessons or ask students to bring in their favorite music to share. It makes learning more fun and enjoyable for everyone!
