EDU 450 TEACHING DIVERSE LEARNERS IN MIDDLE AND SECONDARY SCHOOLS
This course is designed to prepare middle grades and secondary teacher candidates to work effectively in today's increasingly inclusive and diverse classrooms, providing historical, philosophical and practical approaches to issues surrounding five diversities: (1) racial, cultural and ethnic, (2) linguistic, (3) socioeconomic, (4) gender and (5) (dis)ability. A 30-hour field placement in a diverse secondary classroom provides real world experience for students to wrestle with assumptions, theories and data about how diversity impacts educational opportunity and student achievement.
