Context for instructors
Ed 446D is a required course for teacher candidates who are completing the teacher preparation program at my institution
Ed 446 D introduces the multicultural perspective and prepares teachers with the knowledge, skills,
and abilities to work with a diverse group of learners. This is a required course for education majors.
Teacher candidates will be evaluated on their engagement with assignments that give them the
opportunity to demonstrate the aptitudes of culturally responsive educators. A certain level of
pedagogical clarity will develop as teacher candidates learn how to take up critical education in order
highlight opportunities for typically marginalized student populations. The content of this course
requires teacher candidates to explore their positionality in relation to others’, address personal
biases that may affect their teaching, and begin building cultural competencies. Teacher candidates
will be expected to participate in classroom discourse that is reflective of and respectful toward
diverse perspectives.
