| Abstract | The purpose of this study was to determine if Culturally Relevant Pedagogy (CRP) training of teachers can have a significant effect on closing the achievement gap for Latino students. This research study is a case study with narrative analysis that focuses on three areas within the CRP framework as stated by Richards, Brown, and Ford (2006). They are Institutional, Personal, and Instructional. This CRP framework is also aligned to Lindsey et al’s, (2003) Manual of Culturally Proficient training. This research study is a case study with elements of narrative analysis. These practices of qualitative data collection include pre/post surveys, interviews with the teacher participants and their respective site administrators, observations, review of student grades, and written journal responses in a medium-sized, rural school district on the Central California coast. This study also touches upon the following topics: (1) This is not an achievement gap study so achievement gap in this case pertains specifically to the Latino students at three different school sites and their white counterparts, and (2) the disproportionate percentage of white teachers to nonwhite students in our nation as a whole. All the teachers who participated in this study are white. Through this type of introspection, other teachers can implement a culture of high achievement through collaboration that can ultimately close a schools’ achievement gap. This study also provides a critical base for further research studies. |
