Issues tied to race and culture continue to be a part of the landscape of America’s schools and classrooms. Given the rapid demographic transformation in the nation’s states, cities, counties, and schools, all school personnel must acquire the necessary knowledge, skills, and dispositions to talk, teach, and think across racial and cultural differences.
This course takes a deeper look at how schools must be prepared to respond to disparate outcomes among students of color. Additionally, it draws on theoretical constructs tied to race and racism, culture, and opportunity gaps to address pressing issues stemming from the chronic inequalities that remain prevalent in many schools across the country. This course will help educators at all levels respond with greater conviction and clarity on how to create more equitable, inclusive, and democratic schools as sites for teaching and learning.
