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.

Domain IV Board of Education Guidance on Cultural Competency Training for Teachers and Other License
 

“Support students in learning about dimensions of diversity in the community. Provide opportunities for students to be active contributors in solving relevant local, state, national and global community challenges.
Create opportunities for authentic student, family, and community engagement by cultivating relationships beyond the classroom anchored in affirmation, mutual respect, and validation.
Work with students and families to process and respond to incidents of discrimination. “

I respectfully submit that the above is not part of the domain of k—12 education.
