However, culturally relevant teaching seeks to engage diverse students in the curriculum by creating assignments and assessments that pull from student’s interests, backgrounds, and experiences. This curricular strategy encourages a learning environment that affirms students’ perspectives and knowledge while also making learning relevant to their lives.
