One participant had this to say about teaching and cultural competency:
“We teachers/education staff are blessed to have the opportunity to touch the lives of our students everyday. True cultural competency requires actively creating an inclusive environment where every student’s background is valued. It requires educators to constantly examine their own biases, adapt to changing student demographics, and commit to lifelong learning. As the world and our students change, our teaching methods must evolve with them.”
