curriculum or program.)
EDUC 259 Cultural Diversity in Community Contexts will be added to the Development within Diverse Communities concentration for the HDFS minor. This additional course fits the requirement of this concentration, given its clear focus on diverse communities.
EDUC 259 course description:
Examines roles and responsibilities of the classroom teacher through critical examination of field placement experiences in diverse community contexts. Topics include race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, social class, poverty and language.
Adding EDUC 259 would give students
in the HDFS minor more options to fulfill the Development within Diverse Communities
concentration of the minor. In addition, because EDUC 259 fulfills a
requirement for Elementary Teacher Education majors, adding this option would
allow ETE students with a Special Education concentration to complete the HDFS
minor with only 15 additional credits. (Permission to add the HDFS minor as an
option for ETE majors with a Special Education concentration is attached
below.)
Program Requirements:
(Show the new or revised curriculum as it should appear in the
Course Catalog. If this is a revision,
be sure to indicate the changes being made to the current curriculum and include a side-by-side comparison of
the credit distribution before and after the proposed change.)

It’s great
to hear that the HDFS faculty supported the proposal. I submitted a course
revision proposal through the Course Inventory to change the restriction on
EDUC 259 so that HDFS minor students can take the course. I will ask Carol if I
can present the special education proposal to UCTE in December. It looks like
we’re good to go!

Laura,
The HDFS
faculty voted unanimously at our meeting on Friday to approve adding EDUC 259:
Cultural Diversity in Community Contexts as a choice for the Development within
Diverse Communities requirement for the HDFS minor so that ETE students with a
Special Education concentration will be able to add the HDFS minor as an
option. We felt that the content of EDUC 259 was an excellent fit for the
requirement.
Can you
please verify that your department will allow students in the HDFS minor who
are not ETE majors take EDUC 259 if they choose to use that course to complete
the Development within Diverse Communities requirement? Thank you for your
quick action in making this change happen.
