Back to School: ING Conducts Educator Training in Fremont

   ING Conducts Fremont Unified School District Administrator Training

On Tuesday, August 13th, ING trainer and Content Director Ameena Jandali conducted a cultural competency training for administrators and staff at the Fremont Unified School District office. The training was attended by approximately 120 administrators and managers, including principals, assistant principals, and district office staff who support 42 sites. The training was also attended by local representatives from the Department of Education. The event was organized by the district’s superintendent Jim Morris, who introduced the audience to ING and the presenter.

ING’s training titled Understanding Muslim Students: Fostering an Inclusive Environment covers an array of topics, including challenges for students in a post-9/11 environment, bullying prevention, religious practices of American Muslim students, First Amendment principles when teaching about religion, and educational resources and materials.

Attendees were appreciative of the insight and information covered in the training, particularly in a district which has become incredibly diverse in recent years. As one attendee remarked, “I feel like the information I learned today has provided a better understanding into some of the issues I have encountered with my Muslim students.”
