Institution:

Cazenovia College (Closed 2023)

Subject:

Description:

This course will prepare students to enrich their classrooms with varied amounts of multicultural print. Connecting what was previously learned with regard to theory and practice in ED 320, students will now focus on creating units that reflect diverse societies. Students will examine historical events which led to the diversity typical of today's classroom and the many ways to enrich learning environments for students of diverse cultures. In addition, this course will re-examine teaching methodologies of Phonics, Whole Language, Guided Reading, and Basal Readers (and others) while moving toward selecting developmentally appropriate multicultural works for children's exploration. The Learning Standards, developed by the New York State Department of Education, and the content area standards of the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics, the National Council of Teachers of Science, the National Council of Teachers of English, the Council for Exceptional Children, and other appropriate groups, will be incorporated into integrated thematic units. This course will be taken in conjunction of the second professional semester.
