Abstract

In recent years, it has become increasingly obvious that to enable students in schools from an increasingly diverse range of cultural backgrounds to acquire literacy to a standard that will support them to achieve academically, it is important to adopt pedagogy that is responsive to, and respectful of, them as culturally situated. Today’s children are increasingly more diverse in their cultures, languages, abilities, interests and learning styles. We must create environments where student differences are supported and celebrated so that all students are provided with the best opportunity to learn. This article examines the need for addressing diverse needs in the classroom. Benefits and barriers to facilitating a culturally responsive pedagogy are explored, as well as approaches and pedagogical tools for fostering equitable and inclusive classrooms.
