EDU 572 - Culturally Responsive Teaching

Institution:

SUNY College at Plattsburgh

Subject:

Description:

This course is designed to give students an understanding of cultural diversity and the issues related to it that they may face in their classrooms. Gender, ethnicity, race, sexual orientation, religious differences, geographical culture (rural/urban, etc.) language, and other areas of diversity will be addressed. The candidates will address the challenges and benefits of diversity in education and develop ways to use such diversity to enhance the learning experiences of their students. The students will learn methods, such as the use of translation software (this does not have to be purchased) as a communication tool, for working with language diverse students and their families to build bridges when language is a barrier. As a result of this course, candidates will be able to identify different types of diversity and their relationships to successful student outcomes, understand the effect on learning of stereotyping and ethnocentrism, communicate cross-culturally and develop learning plans to allow successful learning for diverse student groups.
