P-Teach: Language, Identity & Power
Want to learn how to become one of those teachers who creates a strong sense of belonging in their classroom?
This course explores the relationship between language, identity, and power in various educational and international contexts. Curriculum includes a survey of race, ethnicity, gender, media, criminal justice, and the creation of safe, engaging and inclusive spaces for teaching/supporting children. The course considers how legacies of inequality for particular communities are reflected in societal attitudes about languages and language users and subsequent language planning.
This course is offered every other year in the Fall (Fall 2023, Fall 2025, Fall 2027, etc.).
This course is concurrent enrollment with CU-Denver. Students earn 3 college credits upon successful completion of this course.
