      abstract = {The growing significance of Culturally Relevant Pedagogy  has transformed how educators taught students coming from  historically marginalized backgrounds. However, academic  spaces such as physical education have not universally  introduced this pedagogical model and identified how to  cultivate culturally relevant physical education, due to  the perceived asocial and apolitical nature of physical  education. As a result, this research study undertook a  case study methodology utilizing the CRIOP framework and  observing three levels of physical education teachers  (elementary, middle and high school). I analyzed culturally  responsive and non-culturally responsive practices within  physical education to provide recommendations for P.E.  teachers about how to best leverage CRP within physical  education. This study concluded that the elementary school  P.E. teacher was most effective in incorporating culturally  responsive practices within their lessons, as they  consistently differentiated their patterns of instruction  to meet students’ needs and set high expectations for all  their students. On the contrary, the middle school and high  school teachers demonstrated an inability to meet their  students' needs, and set low expectations for their  students, which led to low levels of engagement and  disruptive behavior from students. These findings serve as  impetus to further investigate physical education from a  culturally relevant lens and to work towards providing  universal recommendations to future P.E. teachers about  developing their curriculum to best meet their students’  needs from a CRP perspective.},
