Abstract: A culturally responsive curriculum is a teaching approach centered on students’ cultural backgrounds. It emphasizes cultural diversity and understanding by integrating elements of students’ cultures into the curriculum to increase their learning motivation and engagement. Hence, a culturally responsive curriculum is an educational approach in which students’ cultural backgrounds, life experiences, and social contexts are weaved into the curriculum, resulting in content that is relevant to students’ lives and needs. This article provides an overview of the essence of a culturally responsive curriculum. Teachers, especially, can gain a deeper understanding of the principles and significance of a culturally responsive curriculum by reading this article. Finally, the practice of culturally responsive curriculum in the context of Taiwan’s culture is discussed.
