“Fostering cultural competence as conceived by Ladson-Billings (1994) is not problematic if mainstream U.S. culture reflects and resonates with students’ cultural identities. In the instances in which students’ cultural identities and mainstream U.S. culture are not in sync and students’ cultural identities are marginalized, this cultural competence “uses student culture in order to maintain it [student culture] and to transcend the negative effects of the dominant culture” (Ladson-Billings 1994, p. 17).”

“Although he does not speak for all beginning secondary English teachers, we feel Matthew’s thoughts and experiences speak to the disconnect between understanding the concept of culturally responsive teaching and becoming a culturally responsive teacher. Like many beginning English teachers, he understands the concept of cultural responsiveness; he struggles, however, with how to move from the theory studied during preparation to the practice required for the classroom. There is no easy answer to this disconnect.”
