Self-Regulated Learning and Culturally Responsive Pedagogy : An Integrated Approach to Fostering All Learner’s Engagement and Motivation

Our classrooms are increasingly including students from diverse cultural and linguistic backgrounds. Research from culturally responsive teaching (CRT) and self-regulated learning (SRL), although from different perspectives, document instructional practices that support students’ motivation and engagement. The author developed a Culturally Responsive Self-Regulated Learning Framework that integrated practices from CRT and SRL to guide educators in designing culturally inclusive classrooms. Drawing on real classroom examples that are grounded in applied school research, Self-Regulated Learning and Culturally Responsive Pedagogy: An Integrated Approach to Fostering All Learner''s Engagement and Motivation documents how classroom teachers implemented the three components of this framework, including classroom foundational practices, integrated practices, and dynamic supportive practices. Specifically, it presents the experiences of classroom teachers in designing and implementing an integrated pedagogy, students’ experiences of teachers’ instructional strategies, and how those teaching practices are linked to students’ levels of motivation and engagement.
