Graduate

Training in culturally responsive pedagogy allows teachers to take learners' cultural backgrounds into consideration when planning engaging lessons to enrich the classroom. Because students bring their unique teaching and learning experiences into the classroom, a teacher's understanding of those experiences paves the way for a dynamic learning environment where students feel seen, heard and understood. The Graduate Certificate in Middle Eastern Culture and Pedagogy prepares Fulbright Foreign Language Teaching Assistants, K-12 teachers and other professionals for working in settings where their students have Middle Eastern cultural backgrounds. This non-degree graduate certificate can be completed in two semesters.
