Diversity in Schools

Catalog description

This course is designed to help become more aware of the cultural and social scripts that they use to understand the world and that drive their practice. Candidates will be asked to examine and critique their own cultural biases and their taken-for-granted definitions of reality that shape their norms, values, and assumptions about our children, our schools, and the society in which we live. Candidates will look closely at the theoretical, cultural, social, political, economic, legal and historical context of education and the inequalities inherent in the educational system and process.
