EDU 367 Introduction to Intercultural Education/Fall 2007

As part of our study we looked at different heroes from different cultural backgrounds. This was done in an effort to expand our multicultural curriculum and as a way to start developing a character education curriculum. The human story is powerful and as future teachers we have been learning to "read" our children and understand the context of their lives so that we can have a profound and lasting impact on our students.
