What is this course about?
The global nature of American classrooms requires all teachers and students to be culturally aware and sensitive to the cultures and academic needs of demographically heterogeneous students. Risks of ignoring these differences including ostracizing and isolating students, as well as administrative and legal issues. Self-reflection and student reflection allow you and your students to identify and overcome rigid internal beliefs about others outside American culture and the cultural subsets within this country. In this course, participants will learn how to become culturally sensitive, thereby flourishing both academically and socially.
