Guidance Document Change: In 2021, the Virginia General Assembly passed House Bill 1904 and Senate Bill 1196, and was signed into law by Governor Northam. The law establishes new requirements to support culturally competent educators in the Commonwealth. The Guidance on Cultural Competency Training for Teachers and Other Licensed School Board Employees in Virginia Public Schools was developed for the Board to fulfill the statutory mandate to provide guidance on the minimum standards for the local training requirement.

Yes! All teachers should be trained in culturally responsive teaching!
 

Coming from a current teacher, this is amazing! I truly wish this was more widely available. People would are against this have no idea what it truly is. I hope to teach in a world where we accept our students for who they are and allow them to shine within all classrooms.
