Course Description:
How do schools marginalize and exclude students from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds? How can teachers create classroom environments that are more inclusive and relevant for a diverse student body? In this course students will examine instructional practices using a critical lens. They will examine critical theory and pedagogical frameworks (such as Culturally Relevant Pedagogy, Culturally Responsive Teaching, Culturally Sustaining Pedagogy, Reality Pedagogy, and Abolitionist Teaching) to uncover equitable solutions for classroom practice. For the community-learning component, groups of students will design, conduct, and present research projects related to the implementation of these solutions.
