Promoting Cultural Proficiency to Boost Outcomes for All Students
May 22 - 23, 2018
Center for Applied Linguistics
Washington DC

This two-day informative and interactive workshop is designed to give educators and administrators tools that will guide the work of cultural proficiency at the individual and school levels by outlining concrete steps for creating communities of inclusion.

Participants will learn how to:

• Explore their own identities and how they interact with the diversity of students and other members of their school community.
• Immerse in interpersonal and intrapersonal conversations regarding prejudice, privilege, bias, and personal ideology.
• Define cultural proficiency and analyze each stage of the continuum.
• Analyze their level of cultural proficiency as an individual and as a school and identify methods for increasing cultural competence.
• Guide conversations about cultural proficiency in their own contexts, including with adults and/or children.
• Utilize the four Communities of Inclusion Approach reflection questions as a tool to identify action steps and resources needed to advocate for inclusive policies and practices within their own settings.
• Implement CAL's Community of Inclusion Toolkit to promote equity in their local school contexts.

Attendees will receive an informative and useful packet of tools and strategies with hands-on guidance on how to develop an action plan for cultural proficiency that they can begin to immediate implementation in their schools.
