L&I 711 - Intercultural Competence in Ed

Unit(s): 3

This course explores the complexity of the overlap in the learning, instruction, and assessment of students with disabilities and students in urban environments that are from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds. Historical, legal, and policy issues as well as theoretical perspectives that can be used to interpret and examine the inequality of placement in special education programs are examined. Students gain knowledge and skills so that they may competently address the cultural and linguistic backgrounds and talents of students with disabilities in school districts or schools; or to work within universities to improve the education of students with disabilities.
