Resources for work in cultural competency
Welcome to this resource site for practicing K-12 educators. (Read more about how this site developed).
Please note that the list is not meant to be exhaustive, but rather a place to start as you explore the many topics related to cultural proficiency in educational settings. This program is funded in part with a grant from the Minnesota Department of Education using federal funding, CFDA 84.027A, Special Education - Grants to States.
Abstracts for individual articles can be found beneath the article's title. You can access these articles through online databases (go to "online journals" at www.lib.umn.edu if you have a University of Minnesota email account), libraries, or through the journal website (journal subscription rates vary). Open access (free) education journals can also be found at sites such as: http://www.doaj.org.
