What will it take to create equitable educational opportunities for
all students? According to veteran educator Vernita Mayfield,
teachers and school leaders need to learn how to recognize
culturally embedded narratives about racial hierarchy and dismantle
the systems of privilege and the institutions that perpetuate them
with knowledge, action, and advocacy. Cultural Competence Now
provides a structure to begin meaningful conversations about race,
culture, bias, privilege, and power within the time constraints of
an ordinary school. The 56 exercises include activities,
discussions, and readings in which to engage during each of the
four quarters of the school year. School leaders will discover how
to facilitate learning through the four steps-awaken and assess;
apply and act; analyze and align; advocate and lead-as you and your
colleagues: Increase your awareness of privilege and bias. Adapt
your professional practices to meet the needs of all students.
Examine policies and practices that inhibit opportunities for
marginalized populations. Align resources to eradicate inequity in
your school. Mayfield offers advice on establishing a safe
environment for professional conversations, setting goals for
cultural competency, overcoming resistance, reviewing school data
and the school's vision and mission through the lens of race and
culture, and strategically managing what can be a transformative
yet uncomfortable change process. Cultural Competence Now responds
to the urgent need to build the cultural competency of
educators-for the sake of children and in the interest of
supporting and retaining all educators.
