Course Description

Cultural Competence: A Transformative Journey™ Online equips experienced and beginner educators with the knowledge, awareness, and skills to work in today’s diverse classroom settings for the goal of student success. Participants will have opportunities to critically examine how privilege and power impact educational outcomes and to understand the role of educators as agents of change for social justice. Learners will use the framework “know yourself, your students, and your practice,” to better understand their roles in student achievement. Diversity will be explored through multiple perspectives, providing participants with insight into how their own cultural lens impacts their relationships with students and families.
