Fostering Effective Teaching and Learning in Racially and Culturally Diverse Classrooms
Goals:
In this two-year colloquy theological educators will gather on three occasions to address the challenges, opportunities and resources available for effective teaching and learning in racially and culturally diverse classrooms and institutional settings. We will define racism as an interlocking system of advantage as well as disadvantage based on race (Wellman, Portraits of White Racism, 1997). Participants will address four aspects of effective teaching and learning in diverse classrooms in the hope of engaging in personal transformation as a teacher and social transformation in classrooms through:
1. Understanding insights about the ways our racial, cultural, and ethnic identities shape our self-understanding and practice as teachers,
2. Enhancing awareness of students in relation to their racial, cultural, and ethnic identities and the ways those shape their experience in learning,
3. Exploring and developing effective pedagogical strategies for diverse classrooms and institutional settings,
4. Developing a more critical consciousness about what we teach and how we teach so as to use the resources of various racial and cultural heritages in ways that are respectful and appropriate in order to avoid reproducing the assumptions of the dominant culture.
