Recognizing that culturally competent instruction helps educators to close achievement gaps, NJEA offers a program that expands the capacity of educators to serve students from diverse cultural and ethnic backgrounds.

The Cultural Competence Training has four learning objectives:

1. Deepen participants’ own cultural self-awareness.
2. Increase participants’ understanding of the link between cultural self-awareness and cultural competence.
3. Identify culturally responsive teaching practices.
4. Share strategies for promoting culturally responsive instruction.
