=Welcome to EDU 8306!=

This course addresses the attitudes, knowledge, and skills necessary for working with culturally, linguistically, and ability diverse students and their families, especially as it relates to the role of the classroom teacher and administrator in providing appropriate cultural experiences, environments, and curriculum for students. The course is based on the application of culturally relevant practices. The format of the class will provide opportunities for and critical reflection and participation in active learning processes such as role playing, small group discussion, and problem solving with culturally, linguistically, and ability-diverse family situations and instructional dilemmas.

Tips
*Take a minute and explore the wiki. Familiarize yourself with the assignments and resources so you know where everything is. *I cannot stress this enough. ** __//Never forget to save//__ **. It's always frustrating when you believe you've posted an assignment and you discover several days later that you didn't save. *When saving your assignment on your computer, save it as yourname-assignment. For example: alyssacavitt-diversitybookreport.docx I have had students mix up their paper with someone else's because they named the files the exact same thing.

The following attachment is the syllabus.

I have attached a couple of powerpoints for you to familiarize yourself with using the wiki.



Please email me ( problesgoodwin@txwes.edu ), or my assistant, Alyssa Cavitt ( alyssacavitt@sbcglobal.net ) if you have any issues with the wiki.
