Diversity in School and Society

Catalog description

Course explores how schooling is shaped by the social context in which it occurs. Students will examine aspects of their own cultural identity and biases. Students will describe aspects of learner diversity (e.g. race and ethnicity, socioeconomic status, physical and neurodiversity, linguistic diversity, sexual orientation, gender identity, religion/spiritual tradition, immigration status) and the assets that each learner brings to the classroom. Students will investigate culturally responsive, equitable pedagogical practices in multicultural contexts.
