Welcome to the EDC 345 Social and Cultural Resources page. Here you will find resources for learning more about diverse perspectives and people as well as social and cultural issues. What sets this page apart is the focus on resources for pre and in-service teachers who are interested in making sure their students can leverage their academic learning in ways that will enable them to be informed and engaged leaders and participants in their multiple communities. Specifically, we have curated a list of links to the sites of multiple organizations whose work focuses on human and civil rights, sites concerned with social justice, and sites dedicated to sharing research and statistical reports related to the intersection of education and societal concerns. You’ll even find resources that offer examples of lessons and curriculum that have a socio-cultural lens. We sincerely hope these resources will be useful as you either begin your journey to become a critical multicultural educator or seek to take that journey to the next level!
Sincerely,
Dr. Dennis L. Rudnick, Assistant Professor and Program Coordinator, Multicultural Education
