Cultural Competency and Responsive Teaching (5 Hours)

Teachers deepen their understanding of their own frames of reference, potential bias, and impact on expectations for and relationships with students, students’ families, and school communities.

This online PD course demonstrates responsive teaching in the classroom by helping teachers consider, connect with, and build competence in meeting the many learning needs of all students while addressing culturally diverse classrooms that are sensitive and equitable to learners across languages, genders, religions, cultural backgrounds, and special needs.

Designed to meet state requirements for cultural competency and responsiveness training. Including but not limited to all of the following topics: racial, cultural, and socioeconomic groups; American Indian and Alaskan native students; religion; systemic racism; gender identity, including transgender students; sexual orientation; language diversity; and individuals with disabilities and mental health concerns while deepening teachers’ understanding of their own frames of reference, the potential bias in these frames, and their impact on expectations for and relationships with students, students’ families, and the school communities.

  • This is a very important class given the current situation going on in schools. I especially liked the You Tube video from Eric Deggans. I wish more school districts would share this with their parents.
