Evidence

Standard 4: Diversity

The unit designs, implements, and evaluates curriculum and experiences for candidates to acquire and apply the knowledge, skills, and dispositions, necessary to help all students learn. These experiences include working with diverse higher education and school faculty, diverse candidates, and diverse students in P-12 schools.

The theme of diversity runs throughout UMTC programs. Beyond the more direct concepts of diverse populations, the UMTC curricula expose candidates to a diversity of ideas and viewpoints. Further, they espouse that honoring diversity also involves respect for the variability of race/ethnicity, nationality, culture, language, religion, socioeconomic status, sexual orientation, disability status, and human potential. This second aspect of diversity supports and is integral to the first; for example, a classroom with students from diverse cultural backgrounds is likely to reflect a greater diversity of ideas and perspectives.
