This text provides an analytical structure for acquiring, understanding, and integrating multicultural content into the teaching and learning process. Teacher candidates in this course acquire the ethnographic investigation skills to understand how diverse learners’ culture, ethnicity, race, socioeconomic status, gender, sexuality, language, religion, and exceptionality shape said educational processes.  A Social Reconstructionist approach is infused throughout this course in an effort to transform teaching for equity and social justice.

This digital text is intentionally written in first person with the goal of demonstrating that I am on this culturally reflective journey with you, the reader, to transform our teaching and learning environments.
