EDUC 133 - Culturally Responsive and Restorative Practices

CR: 4
Prereq: EDUC 103. This course discuses various facets of diversity associated with race, ethnicity, culture, religion, and gender within classroom contexts. Students are prompted to explore relevant research as well as their own cultural identities, backgrounds, and perceptions, and how those underlying features impact classroom management decisions. Students will acknowledge their own privilege, power, and personal bias so that they are better positioned to create a culturally responsive classroom environment for all students. This course includes a clinical lab component in a public school setting. A fee for travel may be required; students may apply for the Grant for Experiential Learning to defray this cost.
