The challenges posed by anti-racism education will be considered through a critical examination of both the theory and practice of what anti-racism education entails and the strategies for its implementation. The theory and practice of anti-racism education is a proactive, process-oriented approach to helping teachers and students negotiate and gain insight into the racial and ethno cultural differences they may bring to the classroom. This course will provide a basic introduction to the historical, social, and philosophical tenets of anti-racism education.

Objectives: 

  a.. Analyze the influence on learning of such social identities as race, class, ethnicity, language, and gender. 
  b.. Understand how discrimination translates into school structures, policies, and practices that perpetuate inequality.
