EDU 624 - Multicultural Education and Practice (3)

This course is designed to move participants beyond individualistic concerns to the broader concerns of humanity by viewing multicultural education as an emerging field of study. Class members analyze their beliefs, attitudes, and behaviors in relationship to multicultural views. Through critical reading of selected literature and articles, participants expand their knowledge of the theory that exists in multicultural education and discover its relevancy in practice. As a result of this course, practitioners will be able to define and identify components of an effective multicultural education program, evaluate curriculum materials for diversity, model appreciation and awareness of multiple perspectives, teach effectively to a broader range of students, and confront prejudice and other social injustices.
