Learning pathway 6 of 8
Cultural Humility & Responsiveness
For educators who want to teach in a culturally humble and responsive way, this pathway builds the understanding and skills to create learning spaces where every student sees themselves reflected.
Why this pathway
Culture shapes how young people learn, how they interact with each other and how they make decisions, and it shapes how you teach too. This pathway helps you notice that and act on it. A self-paced course introduces culture, implicit bias, intersectionality and the difference between cultural competency and cultural responsiveness. Instructor-led training then moves you into practice: making lessons more culturally responsive and responding when a microaggression happens. Assessments and resource lists help you measure your knowledge and skills and keep growing.
Goal
Deliver affirming, evidence-based instruction that reflects all students.
Who it is for
- Educators building culturally responsive practice
- Health and sex educators
- Community and youth-program educators
Time
About 15 hours: a three-hour self-paced course and about 12 hours of live training over five sessions.
