EDU-562 Sociocultural Context for Teaching and Learning

4 semester credits
Educating students to succeed in a global society involves understanding the whole child, including the knowledge and resources children and families bring to their educational experience. This course will enable students to apply the conceptual framework known as the community funds of knowledge (applying the knowledge and experiences of individuals residing in the students’ homes and communities). As educators involved in helping students develop cross-cultural competencies today’s teachers must understand and value students’ community funds of knowledge in order to successfully integrate this knowledge in the classroom and school setting. Teachers will develop a classroom instructional project that engages students in the application of the community funds of knowledge practices.
Delivery Method: In person
Grading Default: Letter
