SEDM 5230 - Access and Inclusion

Credits: 3

Description: This course is designed to provide a deep examination into diverse contexts within schools, given our global society. Cultural and individual variances, including sociocultural factors such as language, gender, ability, and socio-economic status, are investigated in order to develop an understanding of and need for best practices that make schools inclusive and accessible for all students. Students will learn how to use these practices to develop a school and classroom environment that respects all students, parents/caregivers, and school communities. The course includes examining personal attitudes and beliefs that may affect what occurs within schools.
