Family, Community, and Literacy ??

This course explores the roles of family and community in the development of language and literacy. Teachers examine social justice, equity, and anti-racism as principles for engaging with families and communities, and study different approaches for establishing school-family partnerships. Teachers critically consider the ways schools and literacy instruction have marginalized certain language and cultural communities and explore how literacy instruction can be designed to build from and sustain the language and cultural practices of students, including students from multilingual families.??
