This course engages educators and educational leaders in developing equity literacy—the knowledge, skills, and dispositions necessary to recognize, respond to, and redress inequities in educational contexts. Participants will critically examine deficit ideologies, analyze systemic inequities through multiple theoretical lenses, and apply justice-oriented pedagogies. Emphasis is placed on critical self-reflection, scholarly dialogue, and applied praxis, enabling participants to connect theory with practice in their own professional and research contexts.
Number of Units: 3.0 graduate level extension credit(s) in semester hours
Who Should Attend: This course is designed for educators and education leaders committed to advancing equity by addressing systemic injustices rather than locating deficits in students.
