Culturally Responsive Practices Training Series Cohort 1 Kicks Off this Month!

Educators from across the district will have the opportunity to engage in the first cohort of the Culturally Responsive Practices Training Series that includes presentations from Dr. Luke Wood, Distinguished Professor at SDSU, Dr. Frank Harris III of SDSU, as well as experts from our own Youth Advocacy Department. Participants will explore culturally responsive classroom practices and unconscious bias in education, culminating in 15 hours of self-paced instruction and practice, receiving 1.5 continuing education units. Educators will walk away with a Youth Advocacy Toolkit as well as research-based strategies with which to implement culturally responsive practices in our schools. We are excited to offer this opportunity and lead educational leaders into many rich conversations about leveraging the learning systems of culturally diverse students in our ongoing efforts to close the achievement and experience gap!
