ED 550 - An Anti-bias Approach to the Inclusive Classroom


3 units
In this course participants explore the culture of schools from a perspective of diversity and inclusion. The socio-political context of today’s public schools provides the basis for examining issues of institutional oppression of students who have differences in gender, race, culture, abilities and class, and the impact that these practices have on our students’ success and failure in the classroom. Participants will learn how to develop and implement anti-bias curriculum and instructional strategies that include all students in the school community. Accommodations for at-risk students and students with special needs will be explored by examining classroom environment, learning styles, and school district policy.
