EDU 200W - Diversity, Poverty, and Cultural Competence

3 CR

Classrooms have become more diverse, creating a need for educators to be cognizant of the different practices, beliefs and needs of each student. In this course, pre-service teachers will begin to develop their critical cultural competence* by learning about their cultural selves, exploring the visible and invisible differences among diverse populations of students, examining personal and institutional cultural beliefs and assumptions, and develop culturally responsive teaching practices.
