Promoting educators’ use of culturally responsive practices: A systematic review of inservice interventions

Abstract

Few educators are well-equipped to bridge cultural differences to ensure that all students have opportunities to learn and succeed. Existing frameworks for culturally responsive practices (CRP) suggest its potential for promoting equitable learning environments, yet the state of the science has not been assessed. This systematic review aimed to (a) describe the features of empirically examined inservice CRP interventions, (b) analyze the quality of the empirical studies, and (c) characterize study measures, outcomes, and conclusions regarding intervention impact. We found a total of just 10 empirical studies of the impact of CRP inservice training models (two quantitative and eight qualitative). Study methods universally failed to meet standards of evidence for efficacy, effectiveness, and dissemination; none employed rigorous design features to allow causal inference. Findings suggest that the research base is inadequate to draw conclusions regarding effectiveness and that more rigorous CRP inservice intervention research is needed.

  • Recent reviews show that PD efforts to raise teachers' intercultural competences can be effective, though several studies indicate participants did not grow as much as initially expected.

    “Recent reviews on this topic (e.g., Bottiani, Larson, Debnam, Bischoff, & Bradshaw, 2018;Civitillo, Juang, & Schachner, 2018;Parkhouse, Lu, & Massaro, 2019) show that PD efforts to raise teachers' intercultural competences can be effective, though several studies indicate participants did not grow as much as initially expected.”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
