The problem addressed in this study was a lack of teacher confidence in implementing culturally responsive practice in early childhood classrooms leading to low academic achievement in minority students. Federal regulations, including the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA), mandate that all students are given the support needed to succeed. PK-12 students and their families are most impacted by this problem. This quantitative correlational research examined the relationship between teacher confidence and culturally responsive practice. Culturally responsive practice is representative of Dewey's constructivist learning theory. Constructivism is built on the foundation that students need to make deep connections between their life experiences and their learning. This study sought to answer the research question- What is the relationship between culturally responsive practice and teacher confidence amongst early childhood teachers? The inclusion criteria for participants included: working as a general education teacher in kindergarten through grade four and employment within the school district where the research will take place. This study included 66 participants who answered the Teacher Confidence Scale and the Culturally Responsive Practice Scale via Qualtrics. The means were calculated for each scale and then analyzed using Pearson R correlation testing, r(64) = 0.59, p < 0.001, which showed a strong positive correlation between the variables--teacher confidence and culturally responsive teaching practices. These results support offering professional development regarding the variables. Future research should focus on replicating the study to determine if the relationship between the variables is similar in different settings.
