Practitioner-Focused Ethnic Studies

2-3 credits · Graduate

Designed to build on the existing strengths of students and practitioners of Ethnic Studies who desire to become full-time pk/tk-12 educators–or have direct experience in pk/tk-12 spaces–this two-credit course seeks to prepare participants for the intensive work of interrogating their own complex identities; to create a space for thinking about how the forces that have shaped those identities will influence how participants design and teach Ethnic Studies curricula; and provides an opportunity to plan for how participants will confront the complex realities of implementing and sustaining Ethnic Studies in a variety of schooling contexts.
