Unlearning and the Inclusive Curriculum

The purpose of this course is to promote critical reflection by analyzing the histories, institutions, policies, and cultures that have shaped the development of pedagogies, discourses, and practices within educational contexts. This course reflects current research and policy that informs the development of an inclusive curriculum for a more pluralistic society. Through a systems view of education, students will reflect on real-world experiences, examine formal curriculum, institutional policies and organizational norms to identify attitudinal, historic and systemic barriers that are embedded, produced, and reproduced within educational systems, policies, and practices. With a focus on group work, collaboration, and authentic assessment, students will apply principles of inclusive education, such as anti-oppression education and culturally responsive pedagogy, to critically evaluate opportunities and challenges in society and educational systems in order to become allies and agents of change.
