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.

Absolutely YES to CCT & CRT
 

There is no reason why there should even be a question about cultural competency training. It is a necessary part of pedagogical disciplines as well as most social interactions. Critical race theory is a movement that acts as a framework describing not only the perpetuation of racism in our country, but also about the injustice built into the economy and legislation. This is not an opinion, it is factual history that needs to be objectively analyzed for what it was and has been taught as in the past: racist and culturally insensitive. History cant be written by the winners anymore.
