GED 8071 - Race and Culture in Today’s Classroom

This course will explore how race and culture impact teacher instruction and student learning. You will look at a little talked about theory: White Racial Frame and how this frame impacts the effort and excellence in urban and urban/like classrooms. Participants Will review strategies and techniques to reach all students and not just those that may look, dress, talk or act like a participant. When educators began to focus on culturally proficient/responsive instruction all students benefit: poor students, middle class students, rich students, students of color, immigrant students, language students, and students with disabilities. All stakeholders become winners: students, teachers, parents, schools, and districts.

Notes
Please note: Completion of student teaching and admission to the MAT program. Concurrent enrollment in GED 8091 is required.
