Inspire to Act
Our World-Our Time
Cultural Proficiency is a way of being. It provides a framework and common language that allow schools to transform into effective organizations that provide equitable education for each child. Through services provided by
CampbellJones & Associates, educators learn the tools of cultural proficiency and use them to critique the organization’s polices and practices relative their values and beliefs.
The tools of cultural proficiency are:
•Barriers
•Essential Elements
•Continuum
•Guiding Principles
Culturally proficient schools meet the needs of children and families by responding positively to what they bring into the classroom. School leaders and teachers bridge cultural divides and engage students in academic rigor to close gaps in student attainment of achievement standards.

done.

I came into this session with an understanding of
theory of cultural proficiency, but I am leaving
with a commitment to doing the community work that
will transform theory to part of the fiber of our
community.

Your work with our school has been so effective
and the teachers raved about the relevance of the
workshops. They have been able to implement the
many strategies and systems you shared and we are
already seeing results!
~Principal, Lawrence, MA.
Our work as a learning community with common
language, expectations, and teaching strategies
have really developed through your work with us
this year. We are now using our assessment data
to plan more effectively and are internalizing
the curriculum mapping. Through looking at
student work we have refined and reevaluated
expectations and rigor. Thanks so much.
