EDCS 2010 - Education and Cultural Diversity Public schools are institutions of a democracy. One measure of their success is how well they educate all children, regardless of race, class, ethnicity, gender, disability, sexual orientation, family configuration, language, and religion. Students observe, analyze, and reflect upon the advantages and tensions associated with teaching in a culturally diverse environment and society. They explore the cultural, social, and historical dimensions of education as they relate to cultural diversity. Students examine the cultural and historical context of domination and exploitation in the U.S.; the self as an anti-bias educator; and the curriculum and pedagogy in an anti-bias classroom.
