Learners in Context Undergraduate and Graduate Course
EDUCATION 122/522COURSE DESCRIPTION
This course introduces diversity issues and potential implications for 21st century teaching and learning. After an exploration of their personal cultural context, students will explore diversity issues of race/ethnicity, language, gender, socio-economic status, age and development, exceptionalities, religions and family/community structures. Field experiences will connect culturally responsible teaching practices with various aspects of diversity. Students will also be introduced to School Improvement Profiles (SIP) and the interdependency of context and SIP relevance. *Graduate students (522) will submit an additional project.

FINAL COLLABORATIVE PROJECT
For your final assignment, your group will create an OER project for your school. Your group will decide if the project is for a classroom (teacher candidate group) or a school (principal candidate group). Based on aspects of diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging that we covered over the course of the semester, create an OER lesson that could benefit various players: students, families, and additional educators. Be sure to consider the purpose of OER and its relation to DEIB. Your classmates will “try out” your project and provide feedback. *Publishing on #GoOpen is optional.
Areas to consider:
- Does the project include accessible lessons for various groups of students, according to categories of DEIB? *Choose at least four categories to cover(ex. Ability/disability, gender, and race).
- Does the project align with the 5Rs? If not, explain why. *Note: this is your first project, so I do not expect this to be perfect. Do your best.
- Can the project be used by others?
- Are there any barriers? If so, what are they? What might be a solution?
