    Learning Outcome Pedagogical Intent Student Position

    Utah’s changing Demographics and the historical context of diversity and discrimination and what it means for the future of ELs.

    Assessment: 25 pts.

    Due: Session 4

    Teachers can begin to understand the changing demographics of Utah and how they affect their perspective and pedagogy.

    Teachers have been introduced to the ESL belief statements and the standards for Inclusive Pedagogy.  They have reflected on their own beliefs and pedagogy.  They now begin to understand the changing demographics of their state and neighborhood and how it will affect their pedagogy.
