Teaching the New Majority: Addressing Race and Racism through Culturally Responsive Teaching
Through a Critical Race Theory lens, culturally responsive teaching is examined because of the changing and growing demographics of students of color, which is predicted to be over 50% by 2043, in the U.S., while the demographics of teachers stay stagnant at 85% White. Historically, students of color have not been treated equitably and there is an increasing urgency as the number of students of color continues to rise. Culturally responsive teaching has served to address some of these issues. However, culturally responsive teaching has traditionally ignored issues of race. Culturally responsive teaching with attention to race can be a new way to address these issues more adequately. My study takes a closer look at culturally responsive teaching practices through the narrative inquiry of three teachers currently in the field.
