I first met Trudy Arriaga at an International Cultural Proficiency Institute where she introduced me to her concept of Opening Doors and asked us the Are we who we say we are? question that she instituted at Ventura Unified School District. I recall at that time realizing how well her concepts fit within the tools of cultural proficiency. Her perspective of Opening Doors and questioning whether or not our words matched our action, truly caused me to reflect deeply and I have since incorporated this perspective into my culturally proficient staff development. Trudy has solidified my belief in cultural proficiency as being absolutely necessary for improving our school's organizational culture in a way that will help close the achievement gap. Her book will be at the top of my list as a must read recommendation for all my colleagues at the District Office. --Peter Flores III, Director of Student Services
