(Name-mce) ListServ Syllabus Questions

[CARLI R. KYLES]

Happy New Year Listserve!

This semester, I'm teaching a section of Intro to Multicultural Ed, to graduate
students in our fast-track, 1 year, alternative to route licensure program. I'm
wondering if anyone can share experiences from and/or approaches for
co-constructing/co-creating a syllabus for a multicultural education class with
your students?  I am contemplating the idea of co-creating the course syllabus
with the students, with the hope that the students would become more invested
in the class/topics and bring a higher level of rigor to the course if they are
involved in the construction of the course right from the beginning.

Also, I would like to introduce my students (and myself for that matter) to
creating and using podcasting this semester.  Has anyone given their students
an assignment to create a podcast for/about multicultural education in a grad
or undergrad course?

Thank you for your ideas, suggestions, and advice.
