ED 570 - Diversity, Equity, and Education

Credits: 2
Maximum Credits: 3
This course focuses on creating meaningful and relevant teaching and learning for culturally and linguistically diverse students. A social justice perspective is used to examine ways that prejudice, culture, language diversity, and socioeconomic factors influence the student’s academic success or lack of it within the current system and under the current policies. The cultures of students are studied and used in planning and cultivating culturally responsive learning/instruction and an asset-based view of family and community relations. Course objectives, assignments, and field experience hours vary by credit hour taken per Initial Licensure Track (M.Ed. or Transition to Teaching). Field experience is required. All students admitted to the teacher education program must take this course.

Prerequisite(s): ED 557.
