In preparation for the following senior year residency programs: Community Engaged Teacher Education Program (CETE) and Student Teaching, participants in this course learn about cultural proficiency and equity literacy.

Participants learn the basic tools of cultural proficiency which include guiding principles, the foundation upon which the approach is based; a continuum, which indicates unique ways of interpreting and responding to difference; barriers to individual and organizational change; and the essential elements, which represent standards for individual behavior and organizational practices through the lens of equity literacy. This course includes Stage 2 Fieldwork.
