In Schools.....

Cultural Competency is "a set of appropriate behaviors, attitudes, and beliefs that enable us to live and work effectively in cross-cultural situations now experienced in many communities across the world. Cultures are made up of different elements such as: ethnicity, language, religion, customs, values and patterns of behavior. Within each culture a broad scope of beliefs and practices may exist mutually that can create a challenge to teaching and the learning environment of a school. Consequently, stereotyping individuals can create barriers by assuming everyone in the same cultural group has the same beliefs and reacts the same way. We must learn to let go of our own ‘cultural baggage’ in order to model cross-cultural competency for our students.

In The U.S., too often we frame conversations regarding our racial, ethnic, and gender differences in nonproductive or ineffective ways. As Educators, we must strive to meet urgent needs of the new global economy. Our schools and businesses must provide skills-based training that emphasizes the benefits each person gains in an inclusive community: higher productivity, economic stability and security, greater creativity, and competitive advantages in the workforce.
