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.

As a future educator
 
  1. These guidelines aren't anything close to CRT. I am begging those of you that are screaming that is to pause and 1. Actually look up what CRT is and 2. Reflect on yourselves and why you are uncomfortable with classrooms that embrace everyone. As a future educator I fully support everything in these guidelines and pray that these issues are resolved soon. Why would we not want classrooms for our youth that are welcoming to everyone and teach our children to do the same.
