EDU-104 - Critical & AntiRacist Approaches in Edu

3 credits

In this course, pre-service teachers explore the political, social, cultural, and emotional constructs of anti-racist education. Students will reflect on their own personal biases and address how inequities and stereotypes filter into teaching practice to potentially stigmatize students of various race, class, religion, gender, sexual orientation and ability status groups. Demographic, economic, historical, political, and social forces that affect marginalized populations will be explored. Students will gain awareness of diverse perspectives to better understand how to maximize student achievement and create an equitable system that empowers every learner.
