Abstract
Lisa Garrett studied the impact of a professional learning intervention in cultural competence with teachers of refugee students. Three findings emerged:
• Teachers have unconscious bias • Cultural safety is imperative • Effective strategies for developing cultural competence exist.
Professional learning is imperative in supporting teachers to be culturally competent and respond effectively to students.
