Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Conducting cooperative learning activities in which students work together to create maps of their local community would be the best choice for culturally responsive teaching in a predominantly Native American student population. This activity would allow students to draw upon their own experiences and knowledge of their community and culture, and work collaboratively with their peers, which aligns with principles of culturally responsive teaching. Options A and D rely on competition and individual achievement, which may not be culturally appropriate for all students, and option B does not necessarily tap into students' cultural backgrounds or experiences.
