This nine-week, facilitated and cohort-based online course offers educators an opportunity to explore teaching and learning approaches and methodologies ranging from culturally responsive pedagogies to trauma-informed practices to differentiated instruction and Universal Design for Learning (among others). The course is designed by and for educators using an asset-based orientation to work with culturally and linguistically diverse students of refugee backgrounds across the U.S.

Participants will complete practice-based, contextually-relevant activities and mini-projects for each of the seven modules, participate in online discussions, and attend optional (strongly recommended) virtual meet-ups with members of their cohort and their facilitator.

Participants will walk away with:

a toolkit of resources, including effective, research-based strategies and methods for working with newcomer, refugee, and culturally and linguistically diverse learners
increased confidence and self-efficacy specific to their work with refugee students
a new or wider network and community of educators committed to supporting the academic achievement and well-being of students of refugee backgrounds

Participants will also earn a certificate for 45 PD clock-hours*. Additionally, there are embedded opportunities to apply for four micro-credentials associated with content from this course.

* Check with your local PD/HR office for requirements related to PD clock-hours.

Participants have the option of also earning 4.5 continuing education credits through UCSD for a nominal (additional) fee. More details available by visiting the UCSD Extension website here or by contacting our team at rea.support@ceinternational1892.org.
