This course is designed to introduce practicing teachers to high-quality multicultural children’s books. The course focuses on literature by and about persons from a variety of ethnic and cultural groups. Course participants will develop skills for evaluating the works as well as designing curricula for their own classrooms, which incorporate multicultural literature across the curriculum. Attention will be given to classroom applications using literature including writing and other literature response activities.
Throughout this course, students will be expected to examine their own beliefs and practices, examine the literature, which they make available to the children in their classrooms, and to design curricula which will educate for a diverse world.
