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.

Cultural Responsiveness
 

As an long time educator in VA I have seen firsthand how this “cultural responsiveness”

has permeated through so much of what we do. It is absolutely not needed 

and only serves to virtue signal for the young liberal teachers. Most seasoned teachers roll our eyes and think it’s all a big waste of time and money that should be spent on teaching in critical areas such as reading and math. Virginia schools have slipped during COVId.. let’s focus on getting students on track as opposed to CRT-driven babble.
