Validating Student Identities Through Culturally Responsive Curriculum
Abstract
Diversity in higher education extends beyond race and ethnicity and also includes age, sex, gender, language, culture, and disability status. A culturally diverse student population requires more culturally diverse educators committed to providing quality education. This can be achieved through culturally responsive practices that acknowledge diverse student identities. Culturally responsive educators focus on student learning outcomes and the various ways in which the classroom environment, teaching styles, and curriculum impact student learning. Classroom environments that fail to validate student identities may miss the opportunity to fully educate and empower the next generation of teachers, doctors, architects, counselors, etc. In this chapter, we will discuss the importance of validating student identities through a culturally responsive curriculum and various pedagogical practices, approaches, theories, and frameworks. We will also offer a practical case example with questions for educators to consider.
