*Qualifies for RID PPO CEUs.

This first course, in a series on Cultural Competence, is a reflection of work done by Belinda McCleese and Jonathan Webb in the summer of 2017. You will be introduced to a self-assessment inventory on cultural competence and cultural humility. Following the self-assessment you will find two open source videos that you will watch and perform some associated assignments and assessments. You will then watch three videos produced by Sign Enhancers and complete associated assessments and assignments. Finally, you will produce a reflective piece that summarizes your learning, experiences, and next steps. Note: You will have the option to respond either in ASL or written English through most of the course. The final two reflections are to be submitted in ASL.

At the conclusion of this training, learners will be able to:

1) Explain what cultural competency means to you personally, in terms of information presented in the course.
2) Self-evaluate your current demonstration of cultural competency, especially in terms of cultural humility.
3) Conceptualize and explain one measurable behavior or activity you will incorporate to demonstrate cultural humility and cultural competence.

From sign-up to completion you will have a total of 45 days. No extensions are available except for verifiable circumstances of serious illness or tragedy.
