EDU 640 - Equitable Antiracist Lit Pedagogies

Minimum Credit(s) Awarded: 3
Maximum Credit(s) Awarded: 3

This course examines equitable and antiracist research and practices for literacy instruction in PK-12 school settings, exploring ways in which we can remove the predictability of success or failures that currently correlates with any social or cultural factor. Activities prepare students to interrupt inequitable practices, examine biases, and create inclusive multicultural school environments for adults and children. Students learn to discover the unique gifts, talents and interests of every student and cultivate these in practice, including through the incorporation of children’s literature. Course develops pedagogy through which we transform the experiences, outcomes, and life options for children who have been historically underserved by our institutions and systems.
