EDUC 521 - Human Relations in Teaching: Diversity and Inclusion
Students will understand and deconstruct the impact of gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, SES, ethnicity, language diversity, and other factors on equitable educational opportunity. Futher they will explore, confront, and proactively work to minimize the impact of one’s own biases on who they are as teachers and how one relates to/interacts with students, parents, administrators, and community members. Students will also understand the social structures and systemic “isms” (created by the intersection of diversity and power) within our society that if left unaddressed create gaping educational inequality. They will reflect upon said understandings and use such to plan for how one will integrate the various human relations issues, topics, knowledge, awareness, sensitivities, attitudes, and understandings into one’s own future classroom to create and maintain caring and democratic learning communities. To accomplish this students will explore and utilize purposefully inclusive pedagogy and student engaging and empowering organizational structures to create within one’s own future classroom a learning and living community in which each and every student is valued, respected, and cared for as they are - and that each will see themselves and all others as persons of unique worth and possibility.
