alone MULOK subjects as intracurricular programs to strengthen literacy, numeracy, 
and character. Education units and local governments can establish stand-alone MULOK 
exceptional  maples  as  part  of  intracurricular  programs  (Imamate  et  al.,  2020).  For 
example,  exceptional  maples  are  held  for  regional  language  and  culture,  maritime, 
regional tourism, and so on, according to the potential of each region. In this case, the 
maximum learning load used is 72 Lesson Hours (JP) per year or 2 JP per week. 
In the context of Manggarai culture, cultural inheritance is part of the philosophy 
"Neka  among  kuni  agu  kalo,"  “neka  lego  tana  bate  de  tempo"  (Don't  forget  your 
hometown, don't let go of the inheritance of your ancestors). What is the development 
model bdauya manggarai remains well maintained in unity "One Lingko Peang drum" 
(the traditional drum house on the inside, the land where the search for life is maintained), 
and  it  continues  to  develop  according  to  philosophy  "wake  calar  ngger  wa,  saung 
bembang  ngger  eta"  (remaining  rooted  downward-cultural  identity,  but  expanding 
upward-worldwide)  that  occurs  (Jebarus,  2015).  In  the  era  of  excellent  shifting  and 
technological  disruption  with  various  significant  impacts  on  human  patterns  and 
behavior, efforts to assert local cultural identity become imperative or urgent (Duryatmo, 
Sarwoprasodjo, Lubis, & Suhartijo, 2019). One of the critical instruments in preserving 
and  passing  on  Manggarai  culture  is  through  school  learning  activities.  To  support 
MULOK  Budaya Manggarai-based  learning,  teachers  must  develop  a  comprehensive 
curriculum that incorporates local cultural values into teaching (Manggarai, Tenggara, & 
Adon,  2022)  (Dalut, Apriyadi,  &  Fibrianto,  2022).  The  curriculum  is  tailored  to  the 
specific  needs  of  Manggarai  culture,  allowing  students  to  learn  and  appreciate 
Manggarai's present and future cultural heritage. Through this curriculum, students will 
learn about the history of their region, customs, culture, art, music, literature, and other 
essential aspects that define their community (Resmini & Saina, 2021). 
Based on this urgency, the Youth Education and Sports Office (PPO) of Manggarai 
Regency, in collaboration with St. Paul Ruteng Catholic University, designed an activity 
entitled Workshop Preparation of Teaching Tools for Local Content of Manggarai Culture 
with  Model  Culturally  Responsive  Teaching  (CRT)  for  elementary  school  teachers 
throughout Manggarai Regency. Activities Workshop It is based on the importance of 
teachers understanding the cultural backgrounds of their students to create classroom 
experiences that encourage respect, equity, and inclusivity (Yusuf, Marimuthu, & Yusuf, 
2018).  This  model  recognizes  that  in  order  to  provide  effective  teaching  and  deal 
effectively  with  student  behavior  problems,  teachers  must  have  an  adequate 
understanding of  their students'  social-emotional experiences  (Wulandari, Ningsih,  & 
Rahmawati, 2023). Use of CRT models in Workshop  aims to facilitate the development 
of MULOK Budaya Manggarai teaching tools to elementary school teachers in a more 
effective way to promote Manggarai culture, language, and values (Listiyowati, Munjani, 
& Parmin, 2023). This provides an opportunity to create a more inclusive, respectful and 
engaging learning environment for all students (Inayah, Triana, & Retnoningrum, 2023). 
The CRT model provides guidance on how to understand students' cultural backgrounds,
