Culturally Responsive Teaching and Training at CCBC
The Culturally Responsive Teaching and Training Program at CCBC enhances both educators’ and students’ awareness, adds to their knowledge of others, and strengthens their skills so that they can interact effectively with clients, patients, customers, co-workers, classmates, and colleagues.As the population of the United States grows and becomes ever more culturally diverse, many people find themselves interacting more and more with people who are quite different from them. It is sometimes a challenge to know what to say, what to do, or how to respond to folks who, like us, bring their unique culturally-based expectations to the encounter. This is true in the classroom and in other fields of endeavor, and given the global village we find ourselves living in now, it is quite true of life in general.
