BIO

My name is Jenesis Rodriguez and I am Cuban first-generation college student from Miami, FL. I am currently studying Psychology and Human Development and Family Sciences in hopes of one day becoming a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. My primary goal within this field is to help parents navigate the daunting task of family planning and raising children, and provide them with support as they work through the difficulties that arise within the family unit. As for my research goals, I am very interested in how our culture impacts our beliefs, values, and behaviors, and specifically how these cultural influences impact the lives of children both at home and at school.

A Systemic Review of 20 Years of Culturally Responsive Classroom Management Research

Abstract

Teachers may be struggling to manage their rapidly diversifying student population. Scholars have conducted an array of culture and classroom management studies attempting to ameliorate this concern. Across these studies, Culturally Responsive Classroom Management (CRCM) has remained a prominent theoretical model suggested by researchers for teachers to equitably manage their diverse classrooms (Milner, 2019). However, in the 20 years since the introduction of the CRCM model (Weinstein et al., 2003, 2004), there has not been systematic review of the literature and a focus on synthesizing this literature to further iterate on this model. This has resulted in limitations for researchers using the CRCM model to describe the CRCM phenomenon and may have limited teachers using this model to manage their diverse classroom. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to conduct the first systematic review of the CRCM literature and to develop a new parsimonious iteration of the CRCM model.
