[HealthLiteracy 483] Wednesday Question: Diversity Training for Health EducatorsJulie McKinney julie_mcKinney at worlded.orgWed Nov 29 11:25:20 EST 2006
Hi Everyone, It's time again for the Wednesday Question! Thank you so much for all of your givings of thanks in response to last week's question. It is inspiring and comforting to see our field's successes acknowledged and appreciated! This week's Wednesday Question: In Martha's posting (see last one) she says: "I think it is important for health educators to be able to address issues of racism, classism, and gender in their practice," and talks about including the broader concept of diversity and cultural sensitivity in the training of health educators. What is being done in this regard in your organizations? What needs to be done better? How does the training of these issues affect health educators' abiltiy to deal with literacy challenges? I look forward to hearing from you! All the best, Julie Julie McKinney Discussion List Moderator World Education/NCSALL jmckinney at worlded.org
