Registration preference will be given to students from science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) departments. Spring 2009 Diversity in the College Classroom course syllabus (DOC) - 2010 syllabus to be added soon.
 
Become a better college instructor by considering the complex issues of diversity and how to address them effectively in your classroom practice. Current graduate students and faculty are recognizing that we must consider that the way we teach differentially impacts the success of all our students. This course is designed for graduate students who have an interest in advancing diversity issues as educators. Participants in this course will take a critical yet practical look at how we define diversity and for what purposes, and discuss the ways different definitions of diversity might influence what and how we teach our disciplinary topics. Participants will also create a diversity-focused plan of action for their future teaching practice.
