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.

Cultural Competency Education is Vital For Our Growth
 

Cultural Competency Education is so important for teachers, educators and staff, to students, their families, and all of society. This is how we grow as a people. This is how we come to learn about and appreciate those of different backgrounds, ethnicities, nationalities, and customs. For true growth must begin with the capacity to look outside of yourself, to try and see life and the world from another's eyes. Please consider the importance of this Cultural Competency Training for our next generation!
