EDUC 4005 - Cultural and Linguistic Diversity* (5 credits)

5 credits

An emphasis in this course is the importance of being responsive to the languages and cultures of individual children and their families and communities to support learning and development effectively. Education professionals broaden their understanding of culture as a framework that includes not only language and ethnicity but also gender, socioeconomic status, exceptionalities, family configuration, sexual orientation, personal interests, and many other aspects of one's individuality. In addition, education professionals reflect on their own cultural frameworks and examine personal attitudes and beliefs.
