EDUC 301 - Heritage, Identity, & Empowerment

This course provides pre-service teachers with the tools to promote cultural relevancy with not only their students of color, but all students. It will give them methods for teaching students about their heritage within the confines of the standard curriculum. Through the use of K-12 school based texts, course readings on multicultural education, discussions, classroom activities, including performance based activities, the students will be encouraged to think beyond Black History Month, Asian American Month, and Hispanic Heritage Month and find cultural connections on a daily basis.
