Family Literacy: An Authentic Setting for Building Culturally Responsive Teachers
Michele Byrne
Multicultural Education, v30 n1-2 p31-34 2023
The purpose of this article is to share a family literacy activity geared particularly for the K-6 level in which parents share with teachers valuable knowledge about their children's cultural backgrounds. This multicultural bookmaking activity, a family literacy approach, builds critical cultural understandings between parents, teachers, and students. These synchronized interactions lead to meaningful parent-teacher relationships that build teacher efficacy for valuing cultural diversity (Gallavan, 2007), which is necessary for creating culturally responsive classroom environments.
