Cultural Competency Policy

A Cultural Competency Policy is a set of guidelines and procedures for promoting understanding, respect, and inclusion of diverse cultural backgrounds and perspectives in schools. The policy typically includes provisions for staff training and development, as well as for curriculum and instructional practices that reflect and value cultural diversity. The policy may also include guidelines for engaging families and communities, as well as for addressing issues of bias or discrimination. The Cultural Competency Policy is an important tool for creating a welcoming and inclusive school environment and for preparing students to live and work in a diverse and global society.
