Online Learning
Vabb Academy
Inform. Influence. Inspire.
VABB Academy is the online professional learning space for cultural and linguistic responsiveness (CLR).
Start with the foundation courses, such as Focus on Culture or CLR Classroom Management, or delve into a deep dive with the Cultural Behavioral Tutorials (CBTs). Either way, build your knowledge and develop your skills with the flexibility of learning online.
CLR Online
Online Learning Workshop
This workshop will demonstrate strategies and tools that teachers can use, to validate and affirm students’ culturally, in their online teaching.
Participants will also be given a bank of resources, including video tutorials, for further support after the training.
CLR Distance Learning Recommended Activities
CLR Recommended Activities are here to assist and explore ways to build communities in our virtual classrooms. Every student needs to feel a sense of belonging, that they are connected, accepted and that they are a part of an OUTRAGEOUSLY loving and engaging classroom community.
By acknowledging these cultural behavior differences, and teaching students about the situational appropriateness of certain behaviors, teachers help students learn to navigate different situations in the mainstream culture effectively.
