Culturally and Linguistically Responsive (CLR) Transition Practices
One of Wisconsin’s greatest strengths is the growing population in diversity. Unfortunately, racial disparities in education, employment, and health pose challenges to the prosperity of individuals and families, along with the state as a whole. High school completion is an important step toward success for all youth. Providing culturally and linguistically responsive (CLR) classroom and school wide practices is critical to ensuring every child is a graduate college and career ready.
