Fall 2010 Course Schedule
In an effort to provide
more options to educators, we are revising the
EMI 1 and EMI 2 course curriculums. As of September
2010 both of these courses, which currently meet
for 36 hours and earn 3 graduate credits, will
now both meet for 24 hours and earn 2 graduate
credits.
The focus of the revised EMI 1 course will remain
the same as the original 36-hour version and will
retain the first two-thirds of the curriculum.
The latter part of the curriculum which provides
an introduction to concepts of curriculum transformation,
creating culturally proficient classrooms, attribution
theory and effective effort and creating anti-bias
curriculum will now be offered as separate more
in-depth 12 hour courses which will each earn
1 graduate credit. We hope this change will encourage
educators to take the 24 hour EMI 1 course Anti-Racist
School Practices to Support the Success of All
Students and then self select an additional 12
hour component in an area that is most relevant
to their needs.
