Abstract: "Culturally Responsive Pedagogy: Enhancing Teaching Strategies to Address Diverse Cultural Backgrounds in the Classroom in some selected institutions in West Bengal" investigates the implementation and impact of culturally responsive pedagogy (CRP) in educational settings in West Bengal, India. This research explores how educators perceive CRP, the challenges they encounter in integrating it into their teaching strategies, and the outcomes it has on student engagement, academic achievement, and classroom climate. The study engages educators and students in selected institutions, examining their perspectives and experiences with CRP. Findings reveal that educators recognize the importance of CRP but face challenges related to training, resource availability, and cultural sensitivity. They employ strategies such as professional development and curriculum modification to overcome these challenges. The research also highlights the positive outcomes of CRP, including improved student engagement, enhanced academic achievement, a more positive classroom climate, increased cultural competence, empowerment, and greater parental engagement. CRP is seen as a transformative approach that not only enhances educational outcomes but also promotes social and cultural growth, preparing students for a diverse and interconnected world. The findings underscore the significance of culturally responsive pedagogy in addressing the diverse cultural backgrounds of students and creating inclusive educational environments in West Bengal's diverse educational landscape.
