EDUT 5060 Culturally Responsive Classroom

Mindsets and Skillsets for a Culturally Responsive Classroom

Start your “journey to responsiveness” with a focus on both the mindset shifts and skills necessary to be a culturally and linguistically responsive educator. With an emphasis on the “how to” of equity work, this course will help you develop strategies using the Validate-Affirm-Build-Bridge (VABB) framework to first acknowledge and honor your students’ diverse experiences, then build a bridge to rigorous academic and social standards. Through reflection, exploration, and strategic planning, this course will help educators make the shift to an asset (rather than deficit) approach that fosters positive outcomes for all.
