General principles of culturally responsive pedagogy

An outline of the ways of recognizing and utilizing the cultural heritage of culturally and linguistically diverse children in Russian schools.

By supporting intergenerational relationships and celebrating individual accomplishments we help students maintain their identities. Developing critical thinking is impossible without encouraging students to explore complex identities and allowing them to be ethnically expressive.
