CRC-Independent is a one-year non-facilitated leadership program to support educators, equity specialists and other school personnel to develop culturally competent learning content, practices and strategies to more effectively address the needs of an increasingly diverse student body.

Online Courses

Four courses comprise the online study. They provide a comprehensive and engaging foundation to prepare educators to reflect on existing competencies, broaden cultural competencies, and integrate new strategies to increase their cultural capacity both inside and outside the classroom. The participant will complete weekly activity sheets on the module topic presented in each course.

The four courses are:

Culturally Relevant Pedagogy
