Cultural and Diversity Training

Description

Cultural responsiveness is the ability to learn from and relate respectfully with people of your own culture as well as those from other cultures.  Culturally responsive instruction is, “a student-centered approach to teaching in which the students' unique cultural strengths are identified and nurtured to promote student achievement and a sense of well-being about the student's cultural place in the world."  Diversity training provides the knowledge, skills and tools to assist team members for behaving differently.  This is important for creating and sustaining change that fosters a more diverse, inclusive, respectful and productive organization.  Training helps educators become more aware of unconscious bias and other barriers to diversity and inclusion, and motivates positive behaviors and attitudes – essential for creating and maintaining a respectful, inclusive school environment.
