As a result, elementary school, junior high school, and high school teachers are charged with uniquely difficult and dynamic tasks. Culturally responsive teaching, one pedagogical approach of multicultural education, is capable of meeting and fulfilling many of the current and future dynamic needs of our education system.The purpose of this study was to collect information from elementary school teachers in order to characterize phenomena related to culturally responsive teaching, and to use that information to illuminate methods and mechanisms currently employed by these teachers in modern educational practice. The data were collected through the use of phone interviews and a Web based survey, formulated to address: How do 21st century elementary school teachers perceive culturally responsive teaching and characterize its implementation process?The results characterize 21st century culturally responsive teaching; and although it is merely an initial exploratory study, the data indicate the need for teachers to acquire knowledge, skills, and desire to (a) design culturally relevant curricula, (b) withhold racializing students' identities, (c) be cognizant of overgeneralizing, and (d) use technology in culturally responsive teaching. 2013 English text University of Cincinnati / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ucin1384851047 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ucin1384851047 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
