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.

Enough already
 

Teachers already have too much to do and not enough time to do it in.  What is cross cultural is a great education that prepares a child for life.  Across the board - VA test scores say we are getting worse and worse at this basic function.  Do not do this and please replace yourself and everyone in the VA DOE that keeps trying to rob kids of a great education through a focus on issues that are the domain of parents and families and neighbors and friends and places of worship.
