| Body | From: "Anselmo Villanueva" National Center for Culturally Responsive Educational Systems The National Center for Culturally Responsive Educational Systems (NCCRESt), a project funded by the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Special Education Programs, provides technical assistance and professional development to close the achievement gap between students from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds and their peers, and reduce inappropriate referrals to special education. The project targets improvements in culturally responsive practices, early intervention, literacy, and positive behavioral supports.

Culturally responsive educational systems are grounded in the belief that culturally and linguistically diverse students can excel in academic endeavors if: - their culture, language, heritage, and experiences are valued and used to facilitate their learning and development; and - they are provided access to high quality teachers, programs, curricula, and resources. Culturally responsive educational systems are concerned with instilling ethics of care, respect, and responsibility in the professionals who serve culturally and linguistically diverse students. Culturally responsive educational systems benefit all students. Examples of culturally responsive educational practices will be shared on this web site in the near future.
