EDUA 5691 Teaching Multicultural Students
STRATEGIES FOR TEACHING MULTICULTURAL STUDENTS
This course aims to arm the teacher with the necessary tools to begin closing the achievement gap for multicultural students. The course looks at why this gap exists from a political, cultural, socioeconomic, language, and psychological perspective, and what can be done to engage multicultural students and their families in schools. After finishing the course, the teacher will have an increased awareness and sensitivity to the culture and experience of diverse students, and be able to implement robust strategies for supporting and fostering their personal and academic success.
