Description
The increase in ethnic diversity has caused many educators to expand their knowledge of multicultural education in schools. Students in this course will study the process that creates a culturally responsive classroom to embrace and maximize student diversity in a positive manner which increases academic achievement. They will develop the attitudes, knowledge, and skills to work effectively in schools that are diverse in terms of race, ethnicity, gender, ability, language, socioeconomics, and family configurations. Furthermore, students will work together to gain theoretical and practical knowledge and resources applicable in any K-12 setting.
