EDU-308: Learning in a Diverse World

Learning in a Diverse World invites students to engage in an exploration of how people grow, learn, and make meaning across different cultures, communities, and life experiences. The course combines ideas from various disciplines enabling students to connect broad concepts with their own personal experiences and stories. Through reflective writing, creative projects, and hands-on self-assessment tools, students examine how their backgrounds, beliefs, and environments shape the way they learn. The class encourages curiosity, experimentation, and a willingness to explore new ways of thinking and expressing ideas. Students integrate insights from multiple fields to create a final project that reflects who they are, how they learn, and how they hope to engage with an increasingly diverse world. (This course does not require any field observations or peer teaching. It is not required in any education major leading to certification. It does not require admission to the Teacher Education Program.) Prerequisites: WRI 118 and COM 225. This course will fulfil the Engaging Our World requirement for General Education.
