Brittany Wright, O.D.

Director of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion

Working with Dr. Courtney Plotts and Neuroculture was an outstanding experience. The culturally responsive teaching certification was thoughtfully designed, practical and included comprehensive tools for implementation into my courses. ALL faculty should participate in this training!

Erin Whitteck

Assistant Director of the Center for Teaching and Learning

Dr. Plotts is unlike any facilitator we have hosted on our campus. She intentionally built community before arriving through a series of personally crafted emails and continued in-person and after through follow-up consultations. The training was well-paced, including a balance of direct instruction and many interactive elements that modeled the very culturally responsive concepts she was conveying. Faculty left her training with concrete examples and a clear direction for ways they could build more culturally responsive courses.

Culturally Responsive Teaching

Online

 

In this comprehensive certification program, you will not only delve into the core principles of culturally responsive teaching but also explore how it can minimize acculturative stress among your students through effective teaching practices. Acculturative stress refers to the challenges and emotional strain experienced by individuals adjusting to a new culture or navigating multiple cultural identities.

Tari Colon, Psy.D.

Director of District 7 Training and Performance Manager CPM

Dr. Plotts has provided this training for the previous organization (Department of Health) that I worked for as well as was the keynote speaker for Suncoast Region Certified Public Managers Symposium. Staff and members were talking about her presentations months after. Organizations should take any opportunity they can to get Dr. Plotts as a speaker or trainer. She is outstanding.
