Dear Colleague,

You are receiving this email because you registered for "Culturally Relevant Teaching (CRT) Part 1: An Overview," a webinar in the #EdEquityVA Webinar Series.

As promised, we have provided access to the recording of the webinar, which is now posted on the Virginia Department of Education's YouTube Channel. Additionally, you can access the PDF slides of the presentation. The resources referenced are below:

You are encouraged to share these resources as you see fit. 

The Office of Equity and Community Engagement extends sincere gratitude to our presenter, Maria Burgos of Prince William County, for sharing expertise on this topic. We also thank our colleagues from the VCU School of Education, Henrico County Public Schools, Chesterfield County Public Schools, and Hampton City Schools for providing valuable CRT strategies. 

We look forward to having you at our next webinar! To view the full schedule of upcoming webinars, to register, or to view webinar recordings, visit the Virginia is For Learners website.

Culturally Responsive Teaching Part 2 

During the webinar, we mentioned that the presentation was part one of a two part series. The second part goes in depth on several culturally responsive teaching strategies. Part 2 is not a live webinar session, but rather features pre-recorded videos posted to our YouTube channel. See below for access to the strategy videos.
