Most

tribally

controlled

school

s

particularly

for

American

Indians

are

primarily

focusing

on

“Westernizing”

children,

not

so

much

on

educating

them.

These

schools

are

designed

to

be

more

sensitive

to

the

educational

and

cultural

needs

of

the

group.

When

we

think

about

responsive

teachin

g

not

necessarily

in

tribally

controlled

schools,

but

in

all

schools

whether

private

or

public,

it

is

important

to

work

with

a

curriculum

that

suits

all

students

and

their

culture.

Gay

(2018),

recommends

the

use

of

“

culturally

responsive

caring

-

in

-

action

”,

which

is

a

strategy

of

giving

instructions

in

a

way

that

enables

students

to

be

open

and

flexible

in

expressing

their

thoughts,

feelings,

and

emotions,

as

well

as

making

them

become

more

receptive

to

new

ideas

and

information.

The

ability

of

students

t

o

learn

in

a

new

environment

where

cultural

factors

are

dominant,

is

by

all

means

attributable

to

the

strong

relationship

that

exists

and

the

support

they

receive

from

the

teachers

among

other

individuals

in

the

classroom

setting.

Typically,

we

should

look

at

culturally

responsive

teaching

in

the

same

way

we

do

in

the

realm

of

social,

emotional

learning

and

development

because

it

is

all

about

fostering

good

relationship

in

the

learning

environment.

If

teachers

get

on

par

in

building

good

relationship

with

c

ulturally

diversified

students,

then

they

are

being

culturally

responsive

(Hammond,

2014).

Another

way

to

look

at

it

is

as

a

“motivation”,

bringing

elements

and

artifacts

of

student’s

racial,

linguistic,

or

even

ethnic

identities

in

the

classroom.

That

way

,

students

would

feel

motivated

and

even

enjoy

learning.

What

we

need

to

understand

is

that

culturally

responsive

teaching

is

not

a

program,

but

an

action

algorithm

used

to

improve

learner’s

cognition

in

a

diversified

learning

environment.

Most tribally controlled schools particularly for American Indians are primarily focusing on

“Westernizing” children, not so much on educating them. These schools are designed to be

more sensitive to the educational and cultural needs of the group. When we think about

responsive teaching not necessarily in tribally controlled schools, but in all schools whether

private or public, it is important to work with a curriculum that suits all students and their

culture. Gay (2018), recommends the use of “culturally responsive caring-in-action”, which is

a strategy of giving instructions in a way that enables students to be open and flexible in

expressing their thoughts, feelings, and emotions, as well as making them become more

receptive to new ideas and information.

The ability of students to learn in a new environment where cultural factors are dominant, is

by all means attributable to the strong relationship that exists and the support they receive

from the teachers among other individuals in the classroom setting. Typically, we should look

at culturally responsive teaching in the same way we do in the realm of social, emotional

learning and development because it is all about fostering good relationship in the learning

environment. If teachers get on par in building good relationship with culturally diversified

students, then they are being culturally responsive (Hammond, 2014). Another way to look at

it is as a “motivation”, bringing elements and artifacts of student’s racial, linguistic, or even

ethnic identities in the classroom. That way, students would feel motivated and even enjoy

learning. What we need to understand is that culturally responsive teaching is not a program,

but an action algorithm used to improve learner’s cognition in a diversified learning

environment.
