Navigating Cultural Competence in Grades 6-12 - A Compass for Teachers (Paperback)

Culturally competent teachers know and understand each of their students. Culturally competent schools are ones where students feel welcomed and engaged. To become culturally competent, teachers and other school professionals must treat every student with fairness.

The 8 points correspond to the directions on a compass and are as follows: N: Notice culture and cultural characterstics NE: Negotiate and evaluate curriculum and content E: Establish community and context SE: Seek and engage S: Spark conversations and climate SW: Strengthen and weave together complexities and controversies W: Waken compassion and commitment NW: Nurture and welcome challenges and changes
