Audience:
- This training is designed for teams of six (maximum). * Teams who register more that six will be contacted to determine which individuals will be removed from registration.

- Participants must pre-register and attend all five sessions.
Purpose:
This five-day training is designed for school-based teams who are interested in addressing equity issues and changing classroom practices based on effective culturally responsive strategies. Culturally responsive practices are directly linked to helping participants better understand themselves and students in their classroom as cultural beings. The training will focus on understanding culture and diversity, recognizing the role of power and privilege in both individual and institutional interactions, and developing a philosophy of social justice and equality.
Preparation:
Participants will be expected to read materials and participate in team activities within their districts between training sessions. Each participant will receive a book, Power, Privilege, and Difference by Allan Johnson and is expected to read the book prior to the first session.

Session Three: Connecting with Others
- Participants will be able to identify the ways that media influence our understanding of ourselves and others, funds of knowledge in families and communities, and how to develop culturally responsive relationships.
Session Four: Creating Culturally Responsive Classroom Environments
- Participants will be able to identify how to share power and voice with students, how to create relationship-driven classroom management practices, and how to build a culturally responsive classroom environment.
Session Five: Implementing Culturally Responsive Curriculum and Instruction
