Watch an Overview
Experiences from Educators
Explore firsthand stories from educators who are transforming their schools and classrooms through innovative culturally responsive practices. These personal narratives offer powerful insights into what it means to create inclusive, affirming learning environments that honor students' diverse backgrounds, identities, and experiences. Accompanied by meaningful discussion questions, the stories can be used to learn about the experiences of others or as catalysts for your own discussions and explorations.
Explore the Toolkit by Role
Culturally responsive schools and districts involve a range of partners to enrich the educational experience for students and families. The CRS 360° Toolkit is designed to support school and district leaders, teachers, students, parents/caregivers, and community members to help understand the perspectives of different partners in the education experience.
The Rubrics Topics
The CRS Rubrics are carefully designed self-assessments that allow you to gather feedback from different education partners. They are available in multiple languages to help you gather views from a range of community members. Designed as progressions that detail what increasingly deeper levels of culturally responsive activity looks like, the rubrics are more than checklists—they're tools for meaningful dialogue, shared responsibility, and continuous improvement. Explore these four topics that form the foundation of the CRS rubrics.
Additional Resources
The CRS Resource Repository is brimming with over 200 openly available resources from leading organizations committed to educational equity and improvement. The repository features practical tools, research, guides, and frameworks to support culturally responsive practices in classrooms, schools, and communities. Whether you're a school or district leader looking for family engagement strategies or equity audit tools; a teacher searching for community project-based learning units or how to support your special education students; a librarian looking for ways to make your school library more useful for multilingual learners; or a parent looking for ways to talk to your child about bullying, the resource repository is an valuable resource for you!
