Students learn better, are more engaged, and are better served by education when the teaching materials take into account their experiences, identity, and cultural perspectives.  Educators who are invested in culturally responsive education often find that commercial offerings either do not exist or are not adaptable to their needs.  When they move beyond the realm of commercial publishing, a toolkit of copyright and open licensing knowledge can be useful in creating Open Educational Resources that can be authored centering specific student populations and adapted when needed. Open Educational Resources (OER) are free resources, including textbooks, activities, and supplemental resources.
