Lovett  \nAlabama State University  \nAbstract  \nSocial media has increased students' cultural awareness today, pivoting a need to implement cultural responsiveness in the classroom climate. Twenty-first-century learners need effective teachers who create meaningful experiences and optimize student learning by intentionally working to connect with students, adapting to diverse cultures, and using new strategies to deepen their practice. The most significant demand for culturally responsive teaching (CRT) is in secondary education. Data has shown that educators can promote the best interest of students by creating more equitable classroom strategies to increase motivation, engagement, and classroom effectiveness. If teachers and educational leaders are to evoke true educational reform and thus close achievement gaps exacerbated by the global pandemic, they must employ culturally responsive pedagogical practices. By implementing these strategies, educational leaders will reinforce actions taken for the student's best interest. This literature review aims to explore and identify the impact ofCRT on student achievement in secondary schools.  \nKeywords: culturally responsiveness, culturally responsive teaching, student achievement  \nLead author’s note: The authors provide permission to publish this manuscript.

According to the U.S. Census Bureau,“Blacks, Asians, Hispanics, and other racial minorities will make up most of the population by 2050”(Parker et al.,2019, p.1) . As the national demographic changes, the American educational system must begin reflecting this notion. The beginning is perhaps in recognizing that a paradigm shift must occur. The COVID-19 pandemic exacerbated issues and, most importantly, widened the achievement gap in schools. While schools seek to return to normalcy, many schools still see a disconnect in teaching and learning. This disconnect is costly and must be remedied if educators truly seek to prepare students to compete globally. As a result, many have looked to administrators and educational stakeholders for solutions to this issue. At this time, there is an increased need for leaders to make impactful decisions solely centered around the needs of the students. Leadership that makes decisions to ensure the best interest of students is essential in preparing students to advance academically, mentally, and emotionally, which is needed to eliminate the achievement gap and foster authentic learning.  \nAlthough public school student demographics continue to become more diverse, classroom experiences prove contrary to students’ lives outside the classroom (Mackay & Strickland, 2018; Taie & Goldring, 2017) . Empirical research indicates a cultural disconnect between home and school contexts and thus attributes to academic difficulties, disengagement, and increased dropout rates among adolescents (Mackay & Strickland, 2018). Emdin (2016) asserts that urban youth are expected to leave their day-to-day experiences and emotions at the door and assimilate into the culture of schools”(p. 25) . These cultural disconnections have grave implications and directly impact teaching and learning.  \nThere appears to be a direct correlation between narratives and learning. Dyson and Genishi, scholars specializing in CRT, believe that all humans desire stories (1994) . Stories can help us make meaningful connections to our lives and new information. Denman (1991) depicts narratives as a lens individuals use to understand their experiences. Therefore, the impact of stories or narratives must not be overl","cbCaiceLGwjAGgOl","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiceLGwjAGgOl","pdf",279930,12,"English","# Introduction\n## Changing student demographics and the achievement gap\n## Cultural disconnect between home and school\n# Review of the Literature\n## School racial socialization\n## Narratives, stories, and learning","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of culturally responsive teaching in secondary schools?\",\"answer\":\"Culturally responsive teaching aims to increase engagement and motivation for students of color who have historically experienced academic and social alienation in public schools.\"},{\"question\":\"How has the COVID-19 pandemic affected the achievement gap mentioned in the review?\",\"answer\":\"The review states that the COVID-19 pandemic widened the achievement gap in schools and intensified disconnects between teaching and learning.\"},{\"question\":\"What role do narratives or stories play in the proposed learning process?\",\"answer\":\"The review argues that humans desire stories and that narratives help students make meaningful connections to their lives and new information, supporting learning.\"}]","IMPACT OF CULTURAL RESPONSIVENESS ON STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT IN SECONDARY SCHOOLS - literature review | PDF",1792071294]
