This executive summary presents the findings and recommendations of a study on the cultural proficiency and culturally responsive pedagogy of educators. While teachers demonstrate a strong commitment to cultural proficiency and equity, it is implied that there is still room for improvement in areas such as conflict resolution and acknowledging power dynamics within schools. Educators face challenges prioritizing professional development opportunities and adapting their teaching practices to better support diverse student needs while valuing their cultural identities and voices. Ultimately, the study emphasizes the importance of continuous learning and dialogue around diversity and equity issues in promoting better student outcomes.
