Diversity, Equity, and Cultural Competence

This course invites educators to build upon the concept of Culturally Responsive Teaching practices. This approach is based on cognitive neuroscience. When culturally responsive teaching practices are combined with asset-based learning, which includes: life experiences, cultural and community traditions, students are empowered and encouraged to achieve in ways that promote critical thinking, empathy, and creative problem-solving skills that lead to students becoming independent learners.

Estimated Time to Complete: 5 Hours
