EDUC 616 - Understanding Today’s Children

3 hours
This course explores the unique composite of students in today’s classroom. To develop the best learning environment and curriculum for student diversity, it must be incorporated into the teaching practices applied to their learning. The course will cover this diversity through the study of ethnicity, race, gender, and socioeconomic status of students who are a part of the American education system. The topics that will be interconnected with this diversity include the impact of home, society and school on the youth’s attitudes and behaviors, and especially on academic behavior. GR
