Developing A Multicultural Curriculum Summer Institute

August 18 – 20, 2010. This three day institute will follow a model based on four key steps to becoming a multicultural educator: awareness, knowledge, skills and action. These steps include awareness of how culture affects teaching and learning, the knowledge we need to be culturally responsive, how to create multicultural lesson plans; and how to develop an individual and organizational action plan. The highly interactive format will use videos, mini-lectures, experiential exercises, and small and large group discussions.
