PROGRAM OUTCOMES:
Participants in the Program will gain knowledge and skills necessary to:
• Understand multicultural education (MCE) from a historical and structural
perspective.
• Make sense of MCE theory and research as it is useful for classroom and
campus transformation and implementation.
• Contextualize MCE theory and research within your discipline.
• Contextualize MCE theory and research in relation to your role as an
educator of diverse students.
• Situate and understand your own life experiences within the context of
MCE and your role as an educator.
• Create a multicultural project to use in the classroom or to impact the larger
campus; the cohort can opt to do individual or group projects.
FINANCIAL SUPPORT: Faculty will be paid a stipend of $2000.
As a Faculty Fellow, you will be required to attend one multicultural learning
conference addressing diversity curriculum development. The National
Conference on Race and Ethnicity is typically the conference of choice. This
year, the conference will be held in San Francisco in May. Financial support to
attend the conference will include airfare or mileage, registration, hotel and food
(funding is in addition to the utilization of faculty professional development funds).
In addition, you will be required to five MCE learning and team building sessions
(dates to be determined with the cohort to meet scheduling needs, but Fridays
are likely). These sessions will be discussion based, connected to the reading
material that will be provided to all fellows, and facilitated by former MFF program
fellows.
