from Culturally Sustaining Pedagogies
What is the purpose of education?
Culturally Sustaining Pedagogy
For students of color...in its simplest form means to lose your
- culture
- language
- history

No! Culturally Sustaining Pedagogy (CSP) is here!

"CSP seeks to perpetuate and foster--to sustain--linguistic, literate, and cultural pluralism as part of schooling for positive social transformation. CSP positions dynamic cultural dexterity as a necessary good." (p. 1)
Hold Up!
CSP & CRP?
Same thing or what?
We continue to be inspired by what it means to make teaching and learning relevant... (p. 5)
"Indeed, as Ladson-Billings (2014) recently
wrote, “culturally sustaining pedagogy uses culturally relevant pedagogy as
