Abstract: This action research project explores the implementation and impact of culturally responsive teaching practices in a high school English Language Arts classroom. The purpose of this project is to study how relevant content and application and if it motivates students to connect and engage in class. The methodology of this project is reflecting on classroom artifacts such as observation data, personal journals, and instructional materials. The findings were a mix of positive student responses to content they could personally engage with and relate to, but it did not significantly affect student output or motivation for completion of work.
Keywords: Culturally responsive teaching, culturally relevant teaching, motivation and engagement
