Critical & Cultural Pedagogies
Culturally Relevant Pedagogy
Deals with language, world views, beliefs, values
Visible/Tangible Culture: Crafts, music, art, & technology
Invisible Culture: Values, beliefs, feelings, perspective, assumptions
Why is it important?
Teachers make linkages between the student's cultural experiences, what the students knows, does, and understands, and uses examples, comparisons, & contrasts to what they need to learn.
If the used cultural filters of the school/teacher don't match the students' cultural filters, learning is reduced or not happening.
Caution: don't confuse race & culture. Doing so can result in "one-size-fits all approaches.

Critical Pedagogy
"[I]dentifies education as being inherently political"; not neutral
Education can be a way to equip students to "engage against systems of oppression when existing structures in education are challenged."
Connects social justice & teaching/learning. Students and teachers have power and are active participants in the classroom.
"Critical pedagogy at its core seeks to recognize systems and patterns of oppression within society and education itself, and in doing so, decrease oppression and increase freedom. As such, social justice is at the core of critical pedagogy. "
In order to decrease oppression and domination, critical pedagogy seeks to empower students through enabling them to recognize the ways in which "dominant power operates in numerous and often hidden ways" (Kincheloe).
Anti-Racist Pedagogy
“Antiracist Pedagogy is a paradigm located within Critical Theory utilized to explain and counteract the persistence and impact of racism using praxis as its focus to promote social justice for the creation of a democratic society in every respect” (Blakeney, p.119).
Educators continuously reflect on "their own privilege, position, and biases. Instructors can also work to help students uncover their implicit biases."
Addresses historical issues which lead to inequality & continue racism.
The National Museum of African American History and Culture identifies these nine elements of anti-racist education:
Examining the historical roots and contemporary manifestations of racial prejudice and discrimination.
Exploring the influence of race and culture on one’s own personal and professional attitudes and behavior.
Identifying appropriate anti-racist resources to incorporate into the curriculum in different subject areas.
Developing new approaches to teaching...using varying cognitive approaches to diverse learning styles.
Identifying and counteracting bias and stereotyping in learning material.
Dealing with racial tensions & conflicts.
Identifying appropriate assessment and placement procedures and practices.
Assessing the hidden curriculum and making it more inclusive and reflective of all students’ experiences.
Ensuring the personnel policies and practices are consistent with equality goals and that they provide managers with the knowledge & skills to implement equality programs.
Feminist Pedagogy
Concerned w/past & present power systems & relations; incorporates the "concept of intersectionality (Vanderbilt).
Teachers become students; students become teachers. Classroom power is shared. connect social justice with learning. "Knowledge is socially produced rather than individually produced."
"Intersectionality is the concept that 'different aspects of identity and systems of oppression' are interconnected and inextricable" (Vanderbilt).
Inclusive Pedagogy
vary your methods of assessment, self-reflect
Acknowledge Difference: find out students' learning styles/preferences, backgrounds, and abilities
Accessible Design: instruction content needs to be accessible
Multiple Ways to Engage: vary instruction delivery, offer options for student submissions, change up group activities.
Vary Methods of Assessment: eg, multiple choice, live vs. recorded presentations, writing
Self-reflection: reflect on your own biases, privileges, teaching methods, practices. Continuous process
