Overview
| BUY THIS REQUIRED TEXT |
|
Equips experienced and beginning educators with the knowledge, awareness, and skills they need to work in today’s multicultural classrooms. Participants will have opportunities to critically examine diversity in classroom settings where privilege and power impact educational outcomes and to understand the role of educators as agents of change for social justice. Learners will use the framework “know yourself, your students, and your practice” to better understand their roles in student achievement. By exploring diversity through multiple perspectives, participants will gain insight into how their own cultural lenses impact their relationships with students and families.
"This class offers a great opportunity for teachers to examine diversity in the classroom within a safe learning environment."
