VBCPS Definition of CRP

Virginia Beach City Public Schools will provide and support culturally responsive practices to meet the social emotional needs of all students. Culturally responsive practices bridge the gap between learning and lived culture by focusing on authentic relationships, student experiences, and pedagogy as a way to strengthen student engagement and build a culture that values both individuality and inclusivity.
