Culturally Responsive Teaching Graduate Certificate
Better connect with your students. Better the world.
When students’ cultures and past experiences merge with classroom instruction, everything takes on a whole new meaning.
The culturally responsive teaching program provides educators with foundational theory and research, as well as proven, practical strategies to enhance instruction for all learners. Examine the linguistic, social, emotional, and academic systems in school communities and how to develop culturally relevant curriculums. The program includes intentional work on awareness, sensitivity, and professional disposition.
At Saint Mary’s, you’ll learn to recognize and embrace differences in all students by engaging each student with respect, open-mindedness, compassion, and justice. This is our Lasallian Catholic heritage in action.
