Culturally responsive pedagogy? | The Staffroom

Dr Wilton Lodge says it's not enough to just decolonise our curriculum. Wilton, an Associate Professor (Teaching) at UCL, discusses how teachers can confront their own biases about what knowledge is powerful, and be more responsive to the diverse cultural perspectives in every classroom. "Inequality in education is not accidental. It is produced through curriculum choices, pedagogical practises, assessment systems and institutional cultures... Addressing this requires educators to move beyond surface level ideas of inclusion. It means critically asking questions such as whose knowledge is being taught, whose voices are heard, and whose experiences are centred in our classroom."
