EDUC 443 Parenting in Diverse Contexts
EDUC 443: Parenting in Diverse Contexts - This course will provide a window into the worlds of parenting across the lifespan and professionals who work with parents in diverse contexts. The overall goals of the course are to begin to understand the issues and trends regarding parenting and to gain a practical understanding of professionals' involvement with parents. We will explore the lives and values of parents from many diverse perspectives and cultural backgrounds as they raise their own children. We will also explore our own lives, experiences, and values and discuss how they influence our behavior and thinking not only as potential (or current) parents, but also as future professionals working with parents.
