a way of being, • an “inside-out” approach to change, • the use of specific tools for effectively describing, responding to, and planning for issues that emerge in diverse environments, • polices and practices at the organizational level – and values, beliefs, and behaviors at the individual level – that enable effective cross-cultural interactions between and among staff, students, families, and community. Human Resources and Development To support the HCPSS commitment to cultural proficiency, the system offers three levels of structured professional learning in the form of in-service seminars and continuing professional development (CPD) courses: • Level I: Awareness – Developing an acute understanding of one’s own individual and organizational culture and its influence on others, and engendering the will to change in service of others. • Level II: Application – Intentionally and effectively using the four tools of cultural proficiency to guide personal, professional, and program improvement and organizational development. Additionally, Level 2 processes are integrated within other systemic programs such as Leadership Fellows. • Level III: Facilitation – Building leadership capacity to facilitate cultural proficiency in others and self. Documentation of Improved Practice and Policy Cultural proficiency serves as an educational leadership lens for participants in these HCPSS professional development offerings as they work to lead in ways that: • ensure every student has access to the benefits of a democratic system, and • seek out and leverage the diversity within the community to improve educational outcomes for all. HCPSS staff members aspire for effective practice in cross-cultural situations that affect their students, the communities they serve, and fellow staff members. Each Level II participant has documented a focused improvement effort (i.e., Level II Project) within which they have used the tools of cultural proficiency as a template for change. The abstracts and artifacts contained in this book represent the project component of Level II. Like chips in a mosaic, these projects collectively form an emerging image of the equitable student outcomes and cultural competence indicative of a world-class school system. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Division of Human Resources and Development, Howard County Public School System 3 ______________________________________________________________________________ Contact Information Name Position Location Email Davita Alston Teacher Lime Kiln Middle School [email protected] Julia Bakhru Teacher Oakland Mills High School [email protected] Susan Bell Teacher Cedar Lane [email protected] Charnee Bowens Teacher Murray Hill Middle School [email protected] Elizabeth Ceglia Teacher Murray Hill Middle School [email protected] Aimee Chanhatasilpa Media Specialist Glenelg High School [email protected] Carolyn Colon Teacher Homewood Center

Martirano, Ed.D. Superintendent Dear Student: The Howard County Public School System (HCPSS) offers a wide variety of courses for high school students. The Catalog of Approved High School Courses can help you and your parents select the courses that are best for you and your future goals. Choosing the courses for your high school program is an important task that you should do thoughtfully with your parents. You should consider: • What courses are required for graduation? • When will you take each required course? • What are your interests and areas in which you wish to develop? • What courses are best suited to your goals? Teachers, school counselors and administrators are available to help you make wise choices. I encourage you to schedule an appointment with your school counselor to develop your Four-Year High School Plan, and meet with a counselor yearly to review your plan and select courses for the upcoming school year. High school is an exciting time of your life. This is a wonderful opportunity to plan an academic program that moves you toward reaching each personal milestone for achievement. On behalf of our entire school system, I wish you much success. Sincerely, Michael J. Martirano, Ed.D.
