Throughout the course, you will be learning about the components of culture, and the importance of a multicultural awareness when working in the field of education. Whatever career field you may end up in, developing a mindset of diversity and inclusion will be essential for your success and the success of your learners. As such, the cumulative assignment for this course will ask you to develop a Vision Statement for your career, imagining what being culturally aware may look like in your projected career position. Consider this a real-world exercise in inclusion, as the mindsets this assignment seeks to help you explore will be essential to the practical application of this course’s content. The assignment will be completed as follows. At the end of each lesson beginning in Lesson 2, you will submit one of six components of a PowerPoint, google slides or Prezi (or other visual presentation of your choice) that outlines what actions you will take and what environment you hope to create for your learners or employees through the lens of six major course components you have explored in this course:
Lesson Vision Statement Component
Lesson 2 Types of Learners and Hidden Curriculum
Lesson 3 Learning Environment, and the Concepts of Space, Place, and Material Culture
Lesson 4 The Achievement Gap and Cultural Bias
Lesson 5 Culture as a Disability and Interpreting Cultural Conflict in Learning Environments
Lesson 6 Pop Culture and Core Rituals
Lesson 7 Culturally Responsive Teaching
Each slide of the presentation should address each one of the above course concepts and explain how these concepts and theories will be applied in your work setting to create an environment for students’ and/or employees’ success. In the notes field of each slide, you are required to explain your reasoning for each point of the vision statement, referencing course material as well as seeking outside opinions from experts in the form of personal interviews and/or outside research articles.
