Abstract: As educators, whether in urban or suburban schools, we must tailor our curriculum to who is in our classrooms. Individualizing curriculum has always been taught in teacher preparation programs, but now instead of just individualizing curriculum based on learning styles, we must base it on who our students are racially and culturally as well. This research investigates student engagement within a culturally relevant English curriculum, specifically in a classroom that uses culturally relevant materials to reach to a higher level of student engagement with students of color.
