In this course, residents will be prompted to see themselves as diversity advocates who understand and respect differences among learners in their classrooms, schools, and organizations. They will explore how by first understanding their own beliefs and biases they can then begin to better understand those around them; particularly those they have chosen to serve – students. They will learn that in order to become effective teachers who will build upon the strengths and skills of urban students and their families and communities they will need to build healthy, meaningful relationships and promote academic achievement. Residents will also explore the intersection of beliefs and practices through the examination of various learning theories and frameworks for effective, culturally responsive instruction.
