Abstract
-
This action research project seeks to understand how culturally relevant pedagogy can be implemented in a rural classroom. The goal of the research project is to find ways to connect with rural students' cultures and real lives while also helping them develop cultural competency. The research setting takes place in a 7th grade classroom in a rural Oregon town of about 10,000 residents. The topic for this study was chosen based on two factors. First, many students at the junior high school exhibit many racist behaviors and frequently engage in racist language. Second, many students express a lack of connection between their real lives and the curriculum. This project was developed to work towards connecting curriculum with students' real lives while simultaneously teaching them the benefits of a diverse society to reduce racist behaviors at the school.
