SPEAKER (S):
Description
This presentation will address culturally responsive practice and the importance of early intervening in Response to Intervention and the field of school psychology generally. As our nation's student population becomes increasingly culturally and linguistically diverse, school psychologists must be prepared with the knowledge and skills necessary to provide high-quality services to all students. Culturally responsive services and interventions are particularly critical for students who experience difficulties in schools and in ensuring equitable opportunities to learn. Related research and resources will be shared, include practical suggestions for embracing and promoting such practices in schools, with time allotted for audience participation.
