State Board of Education

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.

This is necessary!!!!

Teachers are educating the future of our nation all of whom come from multiple different backgrounds, ethnicities, and cultures. It’s so so SO important for teachers to also be educated and aware to the needs, history, and realities of life for ALL kinds of different people. I am in support and think this should just be the beginning!!
