EDU 600 - Diversity in the Classroom Minimum Credit(s) Awarded: 3 Maximum Credit(s) Awarded: 3
This course explores the many issues (including race, gender, legal status, social class and sexual orientation) that are part of the diverse landscape in our schools today. We will consider issues of oppression and privilege, both as they inform the way inequitable societal structures have taken root in the US, as well as the ways those issues play out in the country, and in our schools, today. Culturally Responsive Teaching is a pedagogical stance that recognizes and honors the importance of students’ cultural realities in all aspects of learning. Culture is central to learning, playing a role not only in communicating and receiving information, but also in shaping the thinking process and beliefs of groups and individuals. Our goal is to define a pedagogical stance that acknowledges, responds to, and celebrates cultures, and strives to build an authentically inclusive community.
Offered Fall, Spring, Summer
Prerequisite(s): ACE, ASP, or XCAT students only.
