Intercultural Competence & Diversity Awareness

1 credits · Peabody College - Professional

Intercultural competence & diversity awareness (ICDA) is the key to responsive teaching that will guide students in the essential knowledge, skills, and competencies necessary to create inclusive and challenging in-class and out-of-class experiences that invite and respect diverse ways of being, knowing and learning. This course will draw on education research, critical pedagogy, the principles of design thinking, and practical experience, to address the ways in which independent schools better prepare all students to live and learn in a multi-racial, multi-lingual, multicultural world.
