This study aims to systematically review the literature that discusses the concept of Culturally Responsive Teaching (CRT) and its implementation through the integration of local cultural values in learning. CRT is a pedagogical approach that places students' culture as the basis for designing, implementing, and evaluating the learning process. Through a review of a number of national and international scientific articles over the past 10 years, this study identifies the main principles of CRT, strategies for integrating local cultural values, the benefits of its implementation, and the challenges faced in the field. The results of the study indicate that the integration of local culture in learning, such as through folklore, customary practices, and local wisdom, can increase student engagement, strengthen cultural identity, and improve conceptual understanding and character values. The strategy for implementing CRT based on local culture has proven effective in various subjects, from Science, Indonesian, to Mathematics. However, its implementation still faces obstacles such as limited teacher competence, minimal contextual learning resources, and suboptimal policy support. This study recommends the importance of teacher training on culturally responsive pedagogy, development of locally based teaching materials, and collaboration between schools and communities to strengthen learning practices rooted in students' culture. Integration of local cultural values through the CRT approach is a potential strategy in realizing inclusive, relevant, and character-based education in Indonesia.
