ED 245 Diversity Field Experience
Utilizing a 30 hour 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. Students will meet with their advisor in the Education Department to plan the details of their field experience prior to registering for the course. A proposal for the field experience will be submitted to the Director of Teacher Education by November 1 for spring semester and May 1 for fall semester.
