Culturally Relevant Pedagogy: Secondary Mathematics In An Urban Classroom, Julia Glissmann North
Honors Program Theses

When teachers adopt a culturally relevant pedagogy, diverse students will have a better opportunity to learn and retain mathematical content. When academic content is taught in a culturally relevant way, students are able to retain the information, improve their performance in school, and become more informed participants in society.
