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.

NO to cultural competency
 

Virginia suffered the worst math decline in the nation because of progressive pedagogy embraced by VDOE, VEA, and other teachers unions.  Teachers are stretched too thin on all this ancillary training.  Let’s focus on actual math, reading, grammar, and maybe even restoring order, discipline, and common courtesy in schools.  No CRT, No Social/Emotional Learning, No Cultural Competency.  Yes to actual education.
