Description (or Proposed Degree Requirements)
This course offers a theoretical, historical, and practical foundation in critical multicultural
and global education. Candidates will gain an understanding of how structures, policies, and
practices of schools in U.S. and global contexts tend to perpetuate discriminatory inequities
by their effects on students and teachers. Candidates will examine their own identities,
cultural assumptions, and instructional practices to enact a philosophy of teaching that
disrupts deficit discourses and ensures equitable outcomes for all learners.
III.
Justification
Due to changes in PSC rules for teacher certification which led to name changes in most of our
EDD and EDS programs, the original Adolescent Education program was divided into two
primary areas with resultant name changes: Middle School Education and Secondary
Education. As a result, the prefix to our courses had to be changed either to EDUC for courses
that could be used outside our program area or EDSM for courses that pertain exclusively to
middle schools and secondary schools.

V. Catalog Course Description:
This course offers a theoretical, historical, and practical foundation in critical multicultural and global
education. Candidates will gain an understanding of how structures, policies, and practices of schools in U.S.
and global contexts tend to perpetuate discriminatory inequities by their effects on students and teachers.
Candidates will examine their own identities, cultural assumptions, and instructional practices to enact a
philosophy of teaching that disrupts deficit discourses and ensures equitable outcomes for all learners.
VI. Purpose and Rationale:
KENNESAW STATE UNIVERSITY’S CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK:
Collaborative Development of Expertise in Teaching and Learning
The Professional Teacher Education Unit (PTEU) at Kennesaw State University is committed to
developing expertise among candidates in initial and advanced programs as teachers and leaders
who possess the capability, intent and expertise to facilitate high levels of learning in all of their
students through effective, research-based practices in classroom instruction, and who enhance
the structures that support all learning. To that end, the PTEU fosters the development of
candidates as they progress through stages of growth from novice to proficient to expert and
leader. Within the PTEU conceptual framework, expertise is viewed as a process of continued
development, not an end-state. To be effective, teachers and educational leaders must embrace
the notion that teaching and learning are entwined and that only through the implementation of
validated practices can all students construct meaning and reach high levels of learning. In that
way, candidates at the doctoral level leaders for learning and facilitators of the teaching and
learning process. Finally, the PTEU recognizes, values and demonstrates collaborative practices
across the college and university and extends collaboration to the community-at-large. Through
this collaboration with professionals in the university, the public and private schools, parents and
other professional partners, the PTEU meets the ultimate goal of assisting Georgia schools in
bringing all students to high levels of learning.
Knowledge Base
Teacher development is generally recognized as a continuum that includes four phases:
preservice, induction, in-service, renewal (Odell, Huling, and Sweeny, 2000). Just as Sternberg
(1996) believes that the concept of expertise is central to analyzing the teaching-learning process,
the teacher education faculty at KSU believe that the concept of expertise is central to preparing
effective classroom teachers and teacher leaders. Researchers describe how during the continuum
phases teachers progress from being Novices learning to survive in classrooms toward becoming
Experts who have achieved elegance in their teaching. We, like Sternberg (1998), believe that
expertise is not an end-state but a process of continued development.
Use of Technology : Technology Standards for Educators are required by the Professional Standards Commission.
Telecommunication and information technologies will be integrated throughout the master teacher preparation
program, and all candidates must be able to use technology to improve student learning and meet Georgia
Technology Standards for Educators. During the courses, candidates will be provided with opportunities to explore
and use instructional media. They will master use of productivity tools, such as multimedia facilities, local-net and
Internet, and feel confident to design multimedia instructional materials, and create WWW resources.
VII. Policies:
Diversity: A variety of materials and instructional strategies will be employed to meet the needs of the different
learning styles of diverse learners in class. Candidates will gain knowledge as well as an understanding of
differentiated strategies and curricula for providing effective instruction and assessment within multicultural
classrooms. One element of course work is raising candidate awareness of critical multicultural issues. A second
element is to cause candidates to explore how multiple attributes of multicultural populations influence decisions in
employing specific methods and materials for every student. Among these attributes are age, disability, ethnicity,
family structure, gender, geographic region, giftedness, language, race, religion, sexual orientation, and
socioeconomic status. An emphasis on cognitive style differences provides a background for the consideration of
cultural context. These diversity issues will be directly explored in the Impact on Student Learning Assignment.
Kennesaw State University provides program accessibility and accommodations for persons defined as disabled
under Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 or the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990. A number of
services are available to support students with disabilities within their academic program. In order to make
arrangements for special services, students must visit the Office of Disabled Student Support Services (ext. 6443)
and develop an individual assistance plan. In some cases, certification of disability is required.
Please be aware there are other support/mentor groups on the campus of Kennesaw State University that address
each of the multicultural variables outlined above.
Professionalism- Academic Honesty:
KSU expects that graduate students will pursue their academic programs in an ethical, professional manner.
Candidates are responsible for knowing and adhering to the guidelines of academic honesty as stated in the graduate
catalog. Any candidate who is found to have violated these guidelines will be subject to disciplinary action
consistent with university policy. For example, plagiarism or other violations of the University’s Academic Honesty
policies could result in a grade of “F” in the course and a formal hearing before the Judiciary Committee.
Professionalism- Participation, and Attendance: Part of your success in this class is related to your ability to
provide peer reviews and feedback to your editing groups regarding their research and their writing. Furthermore,
responding effectively and appropriately to feedback from your peers and the professor is another measure of one’s
professionalism. In addition, since class meets only once a week, failure to attend class will likely impact your
performance on assignments and final exams. Please be prepared with all readings completed prior to class. We
depend on one another to ask pertinent and insightful questions. Finally, please turn off all cell phones. A ringing
phone and the resulting conversation is a nuisance and an unprofessional interruption in the flow of the class.
IRB Policies Relating to Student Researchers (KSU Candidates) in Educational Settings
KSU Requirements:
Research projects that are conducted in public school settings and involve human subjects in activities which are
considered “normal educational practices” (See 45 CFR 46.101 (b) in the federal guidelines) may be exempted from
Continuing IRB review. The KSU Institutional Review Board (IRB), not faculty members or student-researchers,
determines if a project meets the criteria for exemption. The research may qualify for an exemption even if the
findings and outcomes from such research are placed in online portfolios for KSU academic programs or presented
on occasions required for such programs (e.g., class sessions, capstone presentations).
The KSU IRB requires that the relevant faculty member complete a short form, including a description of the
assigned research project. This applies to the Impact on Student Learning Assignment.
The policy and procedures outlined above do not cover theses, dissertations, or extended research projects from
the M.Ed., Ed.S. and Ed.D. programs but rather refer to assigned research projects contained within individual
courses.
Additional Requirements for Student-Researchers Carrying Out Course-based Research
Student-researchers who conduct projects at variance from or extending beyond a class assignment must consult
with their faculty instructor about securing KSU IRB approval and must contact any IRB-type organization available
in their own workplace setting.
For those in teacher education, it is important to remember that every district has a federally mandated
requirement for IRB review of proposals for conducting research in public schools. It is up to each studentresearcher to learn the appropriate IRB procedures to be followed in his/her district. More specifically, KSU
teacher education candidates are required to complete district-level IRB forms or to follow accepted policies
and gain approval in writing, consistent with school/district guidelines, prior to beginning any assigned
research project.
Once school district IRB approval is obtained, Kennesaw State University will honor the approval by submitting a
copy of the county proposal, approval and Human Participants Online Certificate to the KSU IRB Committee.
Course Objectives: The Professional Teacher Education Unit prepares expert teachers and leaders who understand
their disciplines and principles of pedagogy, who reflect on practice, and who apply these understandings to making
instructional decisions that foster the success of all learners.
Objectives:
1. Candidates will reflect on the influence of their own cultural identities on their teaching
practices.
2. Candidates will demonstrate an understanding of connections among the social,
economic, historical, political, and global contexts of schooling and student learning.
3. Candidates will interrogate power and privilege as they operate in schools and their own
classrooms.
4. Candidates will demonstrate an understanding of the connections among culture,
language, and learning.
5. Candidates will examine theories related to educational equity including privilege and
marginality, curriculum standardization, asset and deficit models of instruction, and
social justice.
6. Candidates will recognize intersections between multicultural education and global
education.
7. Candidates will analyze globalization and its effects on teaching and learning.
8.
Candidates will utilize the funds of knowledge approach to examining family and community engagement
that supports and enhances student learning.

IX. Course Requirements and Assignments
By means of research, reflection, analysis, and synthesis, students engage in rigorous coursework through which
they might achieve their goals as self-directed, self-regulated learners. I expect my students to submit thoughtful,
quality work in which they demonstrate a commitment to excellence. They should exhibit proficiency of content,
practice, and scholarship within the field of curriculum and instruction. I structure course requirements to include
diverse research-based projects, reflective activities, evaluative discussion (both written and oral) on readings, and
field experiences. The course design—activities and teaching strategies—reflect the high standards I hold for my
students and that I expect them to hold for themselves as scholars and practitioners, and subsequently for their own
students.

Attendance and Participation
Class discussion is a crucial part of this course, so it essential that you are present and prepared for each class.
Success in the course requires thoughtful and engaged participation in the course activities.
Please notify me in advance if you are unable to attend class. If you miss more than two days of class, your grade
will be lowered. Excessive tardiness will also lower your grade. Extensive absences will result in an incomplete or
failure in the course.
Missing class does not excuse you from turning in assignments on time. When an assignment is turned in late, it
will be lowered one grade. The grade for the assignment will again be lowered for each subsequent week the
assignment is late.
