23. Culturally Responsive Pedagogy

24. Gay (2000) defines culturally responsive teaching as: • Using the cultural knowledge, prior knowledge, prior experiences, & performance styles of diverse students to make the learning more appropriate & effective for them: it teaches to and through the strength of these students.

25. Gay (2000) also describes culturally responsive teaching as having these characteristics: • It acknowledges the legitimacy of the cultural heritages of different ethnic groups, both as legacies that affect students’ dispositions, attitudes, & approaches to learning & as worthy content to be taught in the formal curriculum • It builds bridges of meaningfulness between home & school experiences as well as between academic abstractions & lived sociocultural realities

26. Gay (2000) also describes culturally responsive teaching as having these characteristics : • It uses a wide variety of instructional strategies that are connected to different learning styles • It teaches students to know & praise their own & each others’ cultural heritages • It incorporates multicultural information, resources, and materials in all subjects & skills routinely taught in schools.

27. RTC overarching statements Teachers play a critical role in enabling the educational achievement of all akonga/ learners. The Treaty of Waitangi extends equal status & rights to Maori & Pakeha. This places a particular responsibility on all teachers in Aotearoa /New Zealand to promote equitable learning outcomes. In an increasingly multi-cultural Aotearoa New Zealand , teachers need to be aware of and respect the languages, heritages and cultures of all akonga. In Aotearoa /New Zealand, the Code of Ethics commits registered teachers to the highest standards of professional service in promoting the learning of those they teach.
