Abstract

Many teachers and educational researchers have claimed to adopt tenets ofculturally relevant education (CRE). However, recent work describes how standardized curricula and testing have marginalized CRE in educational reform discourses. In this synthesis of research, we sought examples of researchconnecting CRE to positive student outcomes across content areas. It is our hope that this synthesis will be a reference useful to educational researchers, parents, teachers, and education leaders wanting to reframe public debates ineducation away from neoliberal individualism, whether in a specific contentclassroom or in a broader educational community.
