Defining Cultural Competency in Schools, A Facilitated Simulation Experience

Cultural Competency Simulation

This simulation places you a month into your new position as principal of Waterside School in a district experiencing significant shifts in demographics, which in turn leads to challenges balancing the needs and perspectives of long-time residents with those of newcomers. The district has a stated commitment to “Create High-Quality Learning Experiences that Meet the Needs of Each Child.” Your job is to uncover specific needs, and resolve discrepancies in the treatment of students, wherever they may exist.
