Such a great course. I liked how we looked a individuals and created a project based on what we learned. I would suggest this course to anyone.

Time consuming but worth it. The text provided many short stories of diverse people doing great things. There were a ton of resources introduced and hands on assignments (finding resources in the Smithsonian, creating a virtual field trip with Google Earth, and developing a time line). It made me think about culturally responsive teaching in different ways.
