HJ 639 Cultural diversity competency training.

Introduced by: A. Donald McEachin | all patrons    ...    notes | add to my profiles

SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:

Cultural diversity competency training. Requests the State Council of Higher Education to urge institutions of higher education to provide cultural diversity competency training in undergraduate and graduate degree programs for teachers, administrators, guidance counselors, school psychologists, and school social workers. Appropriate preparation and training of these professionals regarding the impact of culture, poverty, race, and language, etc. on the identification of minority students for special education would help to reduce the disproportionate representation of such students in these programs. This resolution is a recommendation of the Joint Subcommittee Studying the Overrepresentation of African-American Students in Special Education Programs.
