The University of La Verne education catalog includes a description of EDUC 113 Critical Pedagogies which states that the “course provides new theoretical and political tools for addressing how pedagogy, knowledge, resistance, and power can be analyzed within and across a variety of spheres.”
In the course, students will “develop knowledges of critical theories and pedagogies, examining core texts that interrogate structures of power and privilege in the United States and globally.” Students will also “cultivate capacities for applying critical theories in the analysis of complex social problems, and construct lessons, units, or programs grounded in critical pedagogy.”
The course description for EDUC 353 Diversity and Equity in Early Childhood Education states that it will examine the “impact of societal influences on the development of children’s social identity” and covers “developmentally appropriate, inclusive, and anti-bias approaches.”
