Culturally responsive evaluation teaching and learning in higher education: A higher calling

Abstract

Culturally responsive evaluation (CRE) education has gained traction over the past 15 years, yet there is a dearth of literature on this topic. In response, we offer guidance on CRE education in higher education. Influenced by Stafford Hood, we engage CRE education as a social responsibility or a higher calling. Accordingly, in this article, we describe the importance of culturally responsive pedagogy (CRP) to fulfill our social responsibility in CRE education. We also highlight signature CRP used in our CRE courses, namely the incorporation of diverse practical field experiences and innovative instructional technology. We conclude with lessons learned.
