<h3>What is this training about?</h3><p>Our cultural 'lenses' significantly impact our daily interaction with our students. Achievement of all students in our classrooms increases when we, as teachers, take into consideration not only students' cultural narratives and norms, but ours as well. Cultural intelligence and cultural competence can be learned, practiced, and systemically implemented to better serve diverse students, their families, and their communities. The framework presented in this workshop utilizes research, best practices, and evidence-based teaching strategies to provide an innovative approach for designing and implementing culturally responsive instruction, while also emphasizing the importance of self-reflection to clearly define who we, the educators, are. In knowing how to draw from both our own backgrounds and theirs, we can more effectively serve students from ethnically, linguistically, and socioeconomically diverse backgrounds.</p><h3>What formats can this training be presented in?</h3><ol><li data-list="bullet"><span class="ql-ui" contenteditable="false"></span>Traditional face-to-face training</li><li data-list="bullet"><span class="ql-ui" contenteditable="false"></span>Three-Hour online sessions</li><li data-list="bullet"><span class="ql-ui" contenteditable="false"></span>Full-Day online training</li></ol>
