EDUT 5269 Cultural Competency - Classroom

Cultural Competency from the Classroom to the Community

As the saying goes, when we know better, we do better. This course explores the many ways in which we can “do better” to create culturally competent classrooms and communities. Learn how cultural awareness affects the way we teach, learn, and live, and how culturally responsive teaching (CRT) “lifts all boats.” Examine the ways unconscious bias and cultural faux pas influence how we react and respond in different situations, and take a test to uncover your own biases. Collaborate with a colleague to converse about creating communities and classrooms that are proudly culturally diverse and competent.
