Which concept connects learning to students' cultural identities and experiences?

Connecting learning to students' cultural identities and experiences is best achieved through providing culturally relevant instruction. This approach deliberately weaves students' cultures, languages, and community experiences into what is taught and how it is taught, making learning meaningful and accessible. It validates who students are and draws on their prior knowledge and lived experiences to build understanding, often leading to greater engagement and achievement. The other options describe important teaching practices, but they don’t explicitly center culture in both content and pedagogy in the way culturally relevant instruction does.
