Culturally Responsive Teaching (CRT)

Build the knowledge and skills to create a truly inclusive classroom with SimpleK12's Culturally Responsive Teaching (CRT) course collection, available through one of the most comprehensive online professional development platforms for educators. Culturally responsive teaching recognises that students' cultural backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives are assets that should be woven into the fabric of instruction — not barriers to be overcome. This course collection from SimpleK12 helps educators understand the principles and practices of CRT and develop practical strategies for creating learning environments where every student's identity is affirmed and their potential is unlocked. SimpleK12 is a modern professional learning platform trusted by over 2,700 schools and districts, offering more than 1,000 self-paced courses across classroom management, special education, SEL, content areas, and more. Every course is created and taught by experienced educators who understand the realities of today's classrooms, ensuring the content is both research-informed and practically relevant. The platform's self-paced format allows you to start, pause, and resume learning whenever it suits your schedule, and you'll receive a certificate for every completed course — ideal for meeting professional development requirements and license renewal needs. Whether you're engaging with CRT concepts for the first time or deepening your existing practice, SimpleK12's approach makes professional learning accessible, flexible, and immediately applicable. This course collection is ideal for K-12 educators seeking to develop culturally responsive practices, understand how culture shapes learning, and create classrooms where all students feel valued, represented, and empowered to succeed.
