Culturally relevant teaching (CRT) is an important pedagogical theory for supporting culturally and linguistically diverse (CLD) learners.

​

The purposes of culturally relevant teaching (CRT) are that students experience individual and collective empowerment by developing and maintaining cultural competence, developing critical consciousness, and experiencing academic success (Ladson-Billings, 1995). As such, culturally responsive educators value their students' cultural and linguistic development.
