WHERE DO YOU STAND?
Cultural competency is a continuous developmental process born of the commitment to provide quality and relevant services to all students. Key components are understanding, appreciation, communication, respect, and integration of expanded cultural knowledge base.
WHAT DOES COMPETENCY LOOK LIKE?
Students who receive culturally appropriate and relevant interventions show an increased ability to participate and collaborate more effectively with their same aged peers. They show an improved ability to communicate with the adults in the school which can increase their academic understanding of material presented. The adults understanding of cultural differences decreases referrals for behavioral concerns.
HOW DOES COMPETENCY IMPACT THE LIVES OF THE CHILDREN WE SERVE?
