Cultural Competency in the Classroom

A Video Series for Educators 

As classrooms become increasingly diverse, educators must cultivate the skills and knowledge needed to provide an exceptional educational experience for all students. Today’s educators are called to design course content, assessments, instructional methods, and classroom expectations through the lens of cultural competency. Thanks to the generosity of the Henry Luce Foundation, Central Seminary is proud to offer this three-part video series to support educators in creating more inclusive and effective learning environments.
