Culturally Responsive Education (CRE) in Action will provide teachers with sequential learning to merge arts and culture for greater student engagement. Teachers will apply a shared understanding of CRE to articulate why CRE is important to teaching and learning pedagogy. Teachers will transform their current curriculum by identifying and implementing teaching and learning strategies. These strategies will celebrate the cultural backgrounds of students throughout the entire school year. Effective educational methods that foster deep levels of cultural relevancy will guide teachers to engage the experiences and interests of students. Tools gained in this workshop will ensure that CRE is employed beyond celebratory months such as Hispanic Heritage, and Black History Month.

When you pair this program with Erik James Montgomery’s workshop, Erik provides teachers with the in-classroom support implementing creative teaching practices, what they have learned into practice.
