EDU 3414 - Race, Ethnicity, and Social Class in U.S. Education

1 Course Unit(s)
Examines U.S. education within the broader scope of race, ethnicity, and social class. Success in U.S. society is influenced by racial, ethnic, and/or social class status. Students will examine how such status differences manifest themselves within the U.S. public educational system—an institution purported to provide equal opportunity regardless of race, ethnicity, and/or social class. Other issues addressed are identity development of culturally diverse children, the impact of poverty on education, social inequalities, culturally relevant teaching, abolitionist teaching, and how standard school practices influence students from historically underrepresented populations.
