Culturally Responsive Teaching in Nursing Education: A Faculty Development Project.

Culturally responsive teaching is a vital skill for nurse educators. A diverse nursing workforce is needed in the US to represent the population's demographics. Recruiting, retaining, and engaging a diverse student body is critical to addressing issues of disparities and cultural sensitivity in health care. In a project to promote success among diverse nursing students, nurse educators collaborated to create and present faculty development programs to build culturally responsive teaching skills. This article includes examples of culturally responsive teaching and describes the project and the faculty development curriculum and teaching materials produced. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
