Building Educational Communities of Inclusion: Cultural Proficiency and Equity
June 1–2, 2016
Center for Applied Linguistics, Washington, DC

Learn effective strategies to create educational access and opportunity for all students by promoting cultural proficiency and equity.

Please join CAL for this two-day institute designed to help educators and administrators learn how to implement the best practices of cultural proficiency. Participants will learn about various approaches to cultural proficiency. Broadly speaking, cultural proficiency allows individuals and organizations to interact effectively with people who differ from them, particularly those from non-dominant cultural contexts. It is a developmental approach for addressing the issues that emerge in diverse environments.

This informative institute is designed for PreK-12 educators, administrators and community practitioners, such as social workers, counselors, and after-school specialists. CAL encourages teams of educators and practitioners to attend.
