EDU203 Diversity & Multiculturalism in Education
This course provides a basic understanding of culture, diversity and multiculturalism, and their effect on schools and the broader sociopolitical context. Topics will address attitudes towards diversity, cross-cultural understanding and intercultural communication. Students will examine cultural differences and similarities in order to understand how one's ingrained cultural beliefs and customs impact perception and worldviews. Basic principles, pedagogy and issues that define multicultural education will be discussed. Classroom observation experiences are required of all students for a total of 15-hours.
PLEASE NOTE: Since field observations take place in area educational settings, students may be required to complete a criminal background check (CORI/SORI/CHRI).
