The National Education Association (NEA) defines cultural competence as “the ability to success- fully teach students who come from cultures other than our own.” Cultural competence involves interpersonal awareness, cultural knowledge, and a skill set that together promotes impactful cross-cultural teaching. This stack is a compilation of micro-credentials that addresses various skills that support educators with cultural competence in their teaching practices.
Diversity, equity, and cultural competence (DECC) is integral to being a skilled and informed educator. In today’s global and interconnected society, educators must constantly grow in their ability to teach culturally diverse students and groups.
