Adie Simmons to speak on Cultural Competency May 6 in Shoreline

Cultural Competency - Your Journey Begins Today!

The Northshore/Shoreline Community Network and the C.A.R.E. Team are co-sponsoring their first cultural competency training for 2014. 

"As our communities become more diverse, we are increasingly responsible to better understand and meet the needs of kids and families that may look different than us and have different perspectives than ours. 

"Cultural competence is not only an essential element of our professional practice, but also a life-long journey for every responsible global citizen. This workshop will help you understand the three stages of cultural competence, teach you how the process works, and provide youwith cross-cultural skills to begin your journey."

Adie Simmons, M.Ed. - : Public Education Partners, Principal, former Washington State Education Ombudsman, former Seattle Public Schools Family and Community Partnership Director and former ELL teacher, is the presenter.

Tuesday, May 6,  4:30pm to 6:00pm, Shoreline City Hall Council Chambers, 17500 Midvale Ave N, Shoreline.
