Multilingual Learners: Multilingual Learners 2: Culturally Relevant Pedagogy (micro-credential) (Equity) (15 Clock Hours): In this micro-credential, the educator will understand how culturally relevant practices support a multilingual student’s academic, social, and emotional learning.
Culture influences how students perceive, engage with, and understand the world around them. Embracing cultural diversity is vital for educators to promote holistic learning. Understanding culture enables educators to tailor content, pedagogy, and the classroom environment to accommodate the diverse backgrounds of students. Multilingual learners and culturally relevant pedagogy are intricately connected in education. Cultural relevance in pedagogy acknowledges and integrates the cultural backgrounds, experiences, and identities of students into the teaching and learning process. Multilingual learners, often coming from diverse linguistic and cultural backgrounds, benefit significantly from culturally relevant pedagogy.
