Culturally responsive management involves acknowledging and valuing the cultural backgrounds and experiences of students while also maintaining high expectations for appropriate behavior. Combining high expectations with warm teacher-student relationships can help address the inequity of disproportionate punishment for African American and Latino/a American students. Demonstrating greater leniency or instructing these students in majority culture behaviors perpetuates the problem rather than addressing it. Holding other students accountable for modeling appropriate behaviors may help bridge the culture gap, but it is not sufficient on its own.
