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.

A divisive waste of money and professional learning time
 

I'm a certified teacher in Virginia and am appalled that the VDOE continues to find political trends that they want to bring into school settings. Stop dividing our classrooms into sets of antagonistic groups. Stop making teachers arbiters of "equity" and let us teach all our students to respect each other and to give help where it's actually needed, not where some hyper-political group of social justice warriors tells us it's needed.
