About this course:
This course introduces students to Culturally Responsive Teaching (CRT) and theory by incorporating strategies for creating a student-centered classroom. Students will learn to define anti-racism, identify embedded privilege and reflect on and recognize personal bias. Students will work on creating identity-safe, care-oriented classrooms. Specific topics include how to “center” the curriculum to authentically include linguistic diversity, diverse cultures and communities, understanding micro-aggressions and social justice.
