EDUC 529 - Diversity, Equity and Inclusion


Credit(s): 3
Prerequisite(s)/Corequisite(s): EDUC 502  
Candidates will explore aspects of diversity such as gender, culture, Gay, Lesbian, Bi-Sexual, Transgender and Queer (GLBTQ), ability, language and poverty and analyze how they relate to equity in education in the United States. Candidates will also investigate how these aspects of identity create inequity and barriers to inclusion. Removal of these barriers will also be examined. Candidates will reflect upon how their identity and experiences influence how they view issues related to diversity and equity and how they can remove potential barriers to inclusion in their own teaching practice. 10 hours of fieldwork are required and include researching a barrier to inclusion in their school/community and creating a plan to improve access and inclusion.
