Multicultural Issues in Education

Multicultural issues in education will provide an overview of the issues particular to an increasingly diverse student population present in public schools today.

This course is offered on campus at Oregon State as a web-supported course for Fall and Spring. It is offered on the web only in the Winter.  It is better to take the course on campus, face-to-face if your schedule allows.  Instructor approval is required to register.

I have designed this course to be one of exploration with both easy to find and in-depth learning experiences for you.  However, I do not want you to become lost or frustrated.  Although I have tried to keep you connected to main pages by the navigation graphic at the top of most pages and the return links at the bottom of each page, please remember that your best friend on this trip may be the Back Button. Use it to return to the fork in the road when you feel you may have taken a wrong path.  Also, if you connect to a link outside of the pages I have written for the course, your back button is the only way to return to this web course.

To make the submission of your assignments run more smoothly, please cut and paste your writing from your word processing software to email.  The bottom line: please do not send attachments.

Be advised that this course probably has more choices of material and activities than many you are used to.  You will decide the route you want to follow and most of what you will learn on the way.

I hope this course provokes you to think more deeply about issues of diversity both in and out of schools.   I look forward to my exchanges with you.

Nell

PS.  If you are linear-sequential and want to know the general or step-by-step route from now to
the end of the course, try this link:  Guide to ED 419.

If you are random-abstract and want a more circuitous route and have more time simply connect to the links at the top of the page and explore as you will, you will get to the step by step eventually.
