EDUC 4301 - School-Age Children and Adolescence in a Multicultural Society* (5 credits)

5 credits

In today's multicultural society, educators must be cognizant of the ways in which they teach culturally diverse values and social attitudes to school-age children and adolescents. Education professionals in this course examine these values and attitudes as well as ways to transmit such concepts in the classroom. They explore topics of ethnicity, language, gender, sexual orientation, and socioeconomic status. They also examine how each of these areas of diversity affects school-age children and adolescents as well as how they relate to stereotyping and bias.
