The goal of this course is to take a comprehensive look at research, policy, and evidence-based effective practices in U.S. schools for students who are from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds. Educators must provide appropriate, meaningful, and effective instruction for students who have historically been under-served. This course will integrate theories of bilingualism, second language acquisition, cultural transmission, content integration, assessment of language minority students, bilingual special education, policy and practice, and community relations.
