EDUC 6220 - Literacy Leadership for Social Justice 3 s.h.

Because classrooms are becoming increasingly diverse in gender, race, identity, class, and ability, this course uses a social justice lens to teach students to be leaders in the areas of equity, advocacy, and access for all students. As literacy leaders, our students will explore how to increase equity in literature and literacy instruction across diverse classrooms. Students will explore societal oppressions and inclusive culturally responsive pedagogies. This course will include weekly readings and reflective writing as well as a final written project in which students will apply what they have learned over the course of the semester. No required field component. Pass/Fail Only. Offered Summer, Fall, and Spring.
Prerequisite(s): Degree graduate student status.
