This week our time was limited. We worked together to build the ends of the bridge and to start to develop the training program for teachers.

The group came up with 3  components  for the training:

Slide show fro teachers on cultural competency and looking at the dynamics within a classroom setting for both teachers and students.

Present a survey for teachers pre and post os the training program to document growth of cultural competency.

Offer focus groups led by students and Kesho Wazzo at the beginning and end of the training. 

The first focus group would consist of having a dialog about the cultural dynamic of the a classroom. What do teachers know and do not know about cultural competency and Identify issues in the calls room setting and in the educational system as a whole.

The 2nd focus group would be at the end of the training to come up with ways to bridge the gaps between students and teachers.
