When starting out, it is important to have a clear understanding of what culturally responsive teaching is. Culturally Responsive Teaching (CRT) is a teaching approach that recognizes and responds to the unique cultural needs of students. Instructors must be aware of the symbols and meanings that different cultures hold and must use these symbols that is meaningful to the students.

There are a few key things to keep in mind when beginning to incorporate CRT into your teaching. First, take time to learn about the different cultures that your students come from. This will help you better understand the symbols that they use and the meanings that they hold.

Second, use various methods to engage students in CRT. This includes using visuals, games, and hands-on activities to engage students in the material and ensure that they are getting the most out of the CRT experience.

Finally, assess the effectiveness of your CRT teaching methods. This includes using measures such as student achievement tests, student surveys, and teacher feedback surveys. By assessing the effectiveness of your CRT teaching methods, you will be able to determine whether or not CRT is a successful teaching approach for your classroom.
