Developmental Brown Bag: Developing Critical Consciousness in Diversity Courses
Dr. Christy M. Byrd, Associate Professor of Developmental Sciences Program Coordinator, Educational Equity PAS, Department of Teacher Education and Learning Sciences, College of Education, NC State University
Abstract:
In this talk I will describe a framework for understanding the awareness, knowledge, and skills developed in college diversity courses that integrates key concepts from the critical consciousness and cultural competence literatures. I will then talk about our ongoing work that uses a rubric approach rather than self-report to measure students' trajectories of learning in diversity courses.
