Culturally Sustaining Pedagogy: A Needed Change in Stance, Terminology, and Practice by Django ParisEducational Researcher, 2012, Vol.41 (3), p.93-97,
Culturally sustaining pedagogy seeks to perpetuate and foster—to sustain—linguistic, literate, and cultural pluralism as part of the democratic project of schooling. In the face of current policies and practices that have the explicit goal of creating a monocultural and monolingual society, research and practice need equally explicit resistances that embrace cultural pluralism and cultural equality.
