Parents, School Employees and Neighbors are invited to join us for the final of four community forums designed to build our “cultural competency.”  Cultural competence is a set of attitudes, skills, behaviors and  policies that allow an individual or organization to increase their understanding  and appreciation of cultural differences and similarities. It involves using knowledge of education-related beliefs, attitudes and

practices to improve student achievement.

 

At the March 13th Community Forum, participants will work with local experts and continue our courageous conversations by:

 

♦ Hearing how a panel of middle and high school students perceives the connections with stereotyping, bullying and race.

♦ Learning what the Albemarle County Schools are doing about bullying behavior.

♦ Learning about practical tools for helping children stop bullying behavior.

♦ Hearing from our principals how their schools are becoming more proactive with cultural diversity.

♦ As a community, talking about the next steps for future forums.

 

Participating Schools:

♦ Baker-Butler Elementary

974-7777

♦ Hollymead Elementary

973-8301

♦ Sutherland Middle

975-0599

Join us in improving our community through our Strategic Plan Goal for “Preparing all students to succeed as members of a

global community and in a global society.”
