The School of Education's BA in Elementary Education, with an endorsement in Culturally and Linguistically Diverse Education, aims to prepare anti-racist, public school elementary teachers. Our faculty recognizes that U.S. schools have a long and troubled history of perpetuating racial and other forms ofÌýinequality and injustice — advantaging certain students, while disadvantaging others. Thus, our program is designed to facilitate the preparation ofÌýreflective, ethical and responsive teachers who are committed to making the world more equitable and just, through their work in public schools and the communities they serve.

You will explore school culture, language policies, and the social and political context of schooling. We are devoted to the critical examination of theory, practice, and policy in two major areas of emphasis: the education of culturally and linguistically diverse students and the education of exceptional children. We stress analysis, evaluation, and implementation of educational programs for students who represent diverse learning needs. Explore first and second language acquisition theory, program development for bilingual and English as a second language, and culturally appropriate methodologies.​

The program emphasis in Equity, Bilingualism & Biliteracy is specifically geared towardÌýpreparing researchers and leadership personnel in the field of bilingual multicultural education.​
