The main vehicle for CRRP is building relationships

Cultural competence

Personally inviting them into the safe space

Classroom is physically and culturally inviting

Classroom is managed with firm, consistent, caring control

Understanding that diversity goes beyond race to all aspects of culture (experience, values, ethnicity, language, perspectives, opinions)

Takes students lived experiences and make linkages between what students know and do, and what they understand

o Provide comparisons and contrasts

o Make connections between what is known and what growth is next

o Students are not cultural blank slates. CRRP builds on students prior knowledge and prior cultural knowledge

o Schools have their own set of cultural filters. Therefore, students are perceiving the knowledge being learned by another set of cultural filters. If they do not match, then learning will not take place. Instead of placing the onus on the students to adapt, CRRP tasks the school with modifying and adapting its messages through lenses appropriate to the students’ cultures.
