Cochrane, S., Jones, M., Chhabra, M. & Spragg, D.T. (2017). Culturally Responsive Teaching and Reflection in Higher Education - Promising Practices from the Cultural Literacy Curriculum Institute. London: Routledge.
As college and university classes (whether in person or online) become more culturally diverse, faculty and instructors need to be sensitive to, and able to, leverage the cultural diversity of their students in support of learning. One consequence of our deepening understanding of the needs of Indigenous learners, for example, is the need to honour and respect traditional knowledge and ways of knowing and learning.
But how do we do this? This is a “hot button” topic. The reality of cultural pluralism is not really debatable. In Canada, we have some of the most diverse classroom environments in the world. The core question is how to address cultural pluralism in the general education curriculum. This book provides some responses to the “how” question.
