Description
Summary:Traditional classroom management places an emphasis and rewards and discipline, and little emphasis on relationship building. As schools continue to become more diverse, teacher make-up remains mostly White, and the disproportionality in academics and discipline continues to grow, thus a need for culturally responsive classroom management (CRCM). The purpose of this literature review is to identify the intersection of cultural needs and behavior management, primarily to understand the impact it has in the classroom environments on both student social-emotional and academic success. The literature reviewed looks at K-12 public schools in the U.S., with a specific focus on disproportionality in academic performance and discipline practices. The findings produced a significant amount of data showing a need for CRCM based on suspension rates across the U.S. The literature overwhelmingly suggests that CRCM is beneficial to both academics and behaviors. However, there is a need for more research to understand the direct and long-term effects. Recommendations suggest rigorous teacher training in CRCM and research that measures the academic and behavioral outcomes of CRCM in practice.
