GED 8073 - Linking Community to Classroom: Building on Learner Capital

Learning can be meaningful, engaging, and permanent when it builds upon the social and cultural capital learners bring to the classroom. Students will further understand how to build upon the rich and diverse out-of-school experiences of learners from diverse backgrounds and develop ways to acknowledge and integrate those experiences into one’s teaching through readings, lesson plan development, reflection, and interaction with families and communities. This course culminates the student’s work with research and academic writing as they complete and present the MAT degree completion final project(s).
