Cultural Responsiveness

We have added a Cultural Responsiveness component to our preservice training to advance Literations' mission of driving educational equity and to ensure that our literacy coach volunteers are prepared to coach students from diverse cultural and racial backgrounds and will engage in a strengths-based approach to their service work.  In the late summer and early fall we conducted in-person Cultural Responsive training as a third day to our two-day structured session training.  For those who were not able to attend the in-person session we have adapted the training to create a self guided slide presentation and videos coaches can watch at home.
