EDMC 505 - Culturally Responsive Teaching

(3 credits)
This course describes the principles, features and outcomes of culturally responsive teaching in urban education. It explores how a framework of culturally responsive teaching can be applied to content, pedagogy and climate to promote academic achievement among students in urban schools, who are likely to differ from their teachers in race, ethnicity and/or class. Participants will reflect critically on their own cultural backgrounds and beliefs, learn methods of using students’ cultural backgrounds and experiences to teach, and methods for teaching all students above diverse groups’ cultures and accomplishments. Offered annually.
