Community Cultural Wealth: Using Cultural Capital to Enhance Belonging in the Classroom

In 2005, Dr. Tara J. Yasso coined the term “community cultural wealth.” Community cultural wealth is the shared knowledge, skills, experiences, behaviors, and values of people in a community that guide and influence their ways of being and knowing. Dr. Yosso says there are 6 types of cultural wealth: aspirational, linguistic, familial, social, navigational, and resistance.

Join us as we explore how educators can nurture each of these within the classroom community to create a space of belonging and acceptance for children and families.
