culturally sustaining pedagogy

Culturally sustaining pedagogy is an approach to teaching that respects and incorporates students’ diverse cultural backgrounds into the learning process. Instead of viewing culture as a barrier, it recognizes the value of each student's identity and experiences. In the context of General Knowledge, this means using examples, materials, and discussions that reflect various cultures, allowing students to see their own lives in the curriculum. This approach aims to promote an inclusive educational environment that not only acknowledges but actively sustains and enriches cultural identities, fostering a deeper understanding and appreciation of the world’s diversity.
