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.

Commenter: An educator

CRE is CRT and neither is good…
 

How many more students will the public school system lose if the CRE continues? The drop out will continue.  As an educator, it is clear culturally responsive education is a pandering term and what is really being implemented is critical race theory. Students can learn to be good and kind to others without identifiers. The academic scores are dismal and school should just be subject matter that will help them be intelligent. Parents will remove students from the school systems and those that remain will learn to feel victimized or guilty. Math and reading will be lost. This is a dangerous trajectory.
