This session helps to develop participants’ appreciation of their role in becoming culturally competent by: 1) providing a framework on how to address issues of equity and race; 2) creating common language for entering into discourse; 3) increasing ones understanding of diverse experiences and perspectives; and 4) developing tools for engaging across cultures. This framework considers the importance of deepening awareness of self—moving from color blindness to racial cognizance; increasing knowledge of others and their experiences of racism and oppression; developing skills to work effectively across cultures; and advocating and taking action to initiate change. Participants are taught these four components of cultural competence through lecture and small and large group discussion. Prior culturally relevant professional development is brought into context and understanding of diverse perspectives is explored.
PLEASE NOTE: An evaluation for this training session will be sent to each participant via email the day after the session attended. Completing this evaluation is a requirement of attendance. The feedback from these evaluations is a condition from IMLS who provides the funding to WSL. This funding allows us to offer these trainings to library staff for free.
