I intentionally created this course after receiving incredibly effective feedback on how we, as educators, would benefit from directly implementing a multicultural curriculum. This course is designed to guide educators towards the successful incorporation of a multicultural curriculum.
This course focuses on the importance of incorporating a multicultural curriculum through the integration of multicultural children’s literature. By purposefully choosing multicultural children’s literature which connects to specific content areas, our learners will be given opportunities to build their content knowledge, and appreciate this newly acquired knowledge through the beliefs, values, and perspectives of other countries and cultures. This course will empower all learners to freely and with intention, communicate and connect their own thoughts, ideas, and feelings with those from other diverse countries and cultures. In addition, learners will engage in new and profound knowledge from countries and cultures world-wide, and across multiple content areas. Let’s give every learner the opportunity to learn from each other’s diversity and cultures!
Learn how to observe your learners freely and with intention, communicate and connect their own thoughts, ideas, and feelings with those from other diverse countries and cultures.
