ED 547 Social Justice and Curriculum Development PreK-12

(3 credits)
This course provides students with the theoretical and practical knowledge necessary for designing culturally competent curriculum. Resources for understanding the needs of student populations will be explored both in class and through out of class experiences involving schools, community and non-profit agencies as well as evidence based social justice oriented curricular programs. The particular needs of students living in poverty and educated in urban and suburban public schools will be addressed. This course will also explore diverse methods of culturally competent curriculum design and teach students skills for transforming existing lessons and unit plans to meet state standards and the needs of their students.
