Culturally responsive teaching (CRT) acknowledges students' heritages and uses those cultural resources to empower all students to excel in the classroom. Teachers have a responsibility to create a classroom culture of acceptance, collaboration,inclusion, and cultural sensitivity. In culturally relevant teaching (also CRT), students are empowered by using cultural referents to increase content knowledge and impart scientific dispositions as denoted by the NGSS science and engineering practices. This is a collection of resources that mesh culture and science learning.
