EDUC 470 explores identity, culture, and multiculturalism for educators. Special emphasis is placed upon the understanding of race and ethnicity and the interconnectedness of race and ethnicity with other aspects of diversity, including, but not limited to- geographic origin, residency status, language, socioeconomic status, sex, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, religion, spirituality, age, physical appearance and disability. Students will review cognitive theory for culturally responsive teaching, research-based practices for multicultural pedagogy, examine culturally responsive instructional materials, design curricula, and explore effective assessments.
