Teaching Cultural Linguistic

Catalog description

Today’s classrooms in a pluralistic society require teachers to develop knowledge and skills to teach students with culturally and linguistically diverse (CLD) backgrounds. This course will provide a space for pre-service teachers to explore the meaning of culture, various cultural values/beliefs that students will bring, and the characteristics of culturally and linguistically diverse groups in the U.S classrooms. Also, pre-service teachers will have opportunities to learn about specific cases and examples of teaching CLD learners in their subject areas.
