Abstract: This study explores the impact of culturally responsive teaching (CRT) on student engagement in Class 12 classrooms, emphasizing the importance of integrating students' cultural backgrounds into educational practices. Using a qualitative research design, data were collected through semi-structured interviews with teachers, focus groups with students, and classroom observations. The findings reveal that CRT strategies, such as incorporating diverse materials and fostering personal relationships, significantly enhance student motivation, participation, and sense of belonging. Educators observed increased engagement and improved classroom dynamics when culturally relevant practices were implemented. This research highlights the critical role of culturally responsive teaching in promoting equity and inclusivity in education, providing practical insights for educators and policymakers. Future research is suggested to further explore the long-term effects of CRT on student outcomes across diverse educational contexts.
