EDN 606 - Teaching Diverse Learners

All educators require an array of pedagogical skills to ensure that each student receives a high-quality education. This course builds teachers’ capacities to educate for social justice by first challenging existing ideologies embedded within school functioning, before carefully explicating the process by which
teachers embrace equitable educational practices. With an emphasis on “how”, we pay close attention to constructing home-school partnerships and inclusive classrooms that capitalize on students’ social and cultural strengths. We then enumerate numerous pedagogical strategies aimed at teaching to and through students’ cultural frames of reference.
