ED 245 Diversity Field Experience
This course is designed to expand the range of each student’s understanding of the experience of preK-12 students who, because of such fundamental components as race, ethnicity, gender, or other characteristics, may have been historically marginalized by society. It is anticipated that students will expand their understanding of these social groups by identifying possible personal bias and experimenting with appropriate teaching strategies for these students. This field placement must be in a school setting comprised of a diverse K-8 or 5-12 student population, and be for a minimum of 30 hours. Students will work with their education advisers to identify appropriate settings and develop a proposal for the field experience. The proposal must be submitted to the Director of Teacher Education during the semester prior to enrolling in the course
