COURSE DESCRIPTION
This course examines the impact of different backgrounds and life experiences on
children from multicultural life circumstances through the reading of memoirs and
novels of childhood and youth and the viewing of movies on the educational
experiences of children and youth.
COURSE PREREQUISITES
Admission to the Graduate School of the Ella Cline Shear School or permission of
the instructor.
COURSE RATIONALE
This course infuses the constructivist approach to teaching and learning in which teacher
candidates use their prior knowledge and social contexts to interact and develop relevant
knowledge, skills and dispositions to become teachers committed to improve the lives of students
through education. This course is consistent with the following Geneseo core values:
1. Geneseo mission to develop socially responsible citizens with skills and values
important to the pursuit of an enriched life and success in the world; and
2. The School of Education mission to prepare future teachers to be reflective, critical
thinkers, adept at problem solving, and committed to the development of communities of
inquiry to ensure that all students have the opportunity to learn the skills necessary for a
productive life and responsible citizenship.
Consistent with SUNY policies, regulations of the New York State Department of Education,
NAEYC standards, and with the School of Education Conceptual Framework, this course will
provide candidates the opportunity to acquire the knowledge, skills, and dispositions pertinent to
the specific learner outcomes listed below.
Specifically, this course prepares preservice and inservice teachers to be sensitive to differences in
children’s learning and children’s needs due to differences in their backgrounds, personal and
social histories, associations, ethnicities, and gender identification as well as differences from
other sources.

COURSE GRADING PROCEDURES
Grading scale is based on percentage of total points earned:

66-69%
65% and below.
(Note: Minimum passing grade for graduate students is B-, in this case 80%)
I calculate all grades by a spreadsheet, rounding up from .5 and down from .4 on
each assignment. To calculate final grades, I weight and add percentages and
assign letter grades according to the chart above. Please consult me immediately
after receiving each graded assignment if you wish to discuss the grade. I will not
change grades if you do not discuss them with me right away after receiving the
assignment back. I do not write many comments on finals, nor do I return them,
since my questions are very general and something like them must eventually
appear again sometime. You are cordially invited to stop by my office to see your
final during the early weeks of the semester following the semester you are
enrolled. Please note: your participation grade counts for a hefty 10%. You will
need to be present in class, speak up, and take part in group work to earn these
points. Pop quizzes, surveys, and small assignments (if I give any) will count
towards your participation grade.
I calculate your participation grade in three ways. Everyone starts with 100 points.
a. Attendance (you can’t participate if you are not in class). The first week’s
absence can be excused (if you notify me of the reason). The second
week’s absence drops your points to 90, each absence after that drops your
points by an additional five points. Absences for sports activities
accompanied by an explanatory letter from your coach will not count
against you. Doctor’s excuses are required for absences due to illness.
b. Participation. If you are prepared and participate in discussions, you lose
no points; if you participate only sometimes, you lose five points; if you
rarely participate, you lose ten points; if you never participate (but you are
present), you lose fifteen points.
c. Surveys, quizzes, (or other small assignments) will be included in the
calculation depending on the number of such assignments that we do.
Please note: participation grades have a subjective element. I will have to use my
judgment in such calculations, but I will be fair and use the same system for
everyone. Surveys will not be graded per se, only counted. In general, the surveys
will tell me two things. (1) Whether you have read the materials and (2) whether
you have understood main points. This will help me to focus in class on things
that were not clear to you, rather than things that were clear. Your responses will
not be graded per se, only counted. You will be notified when surveys are up or
when new handouts are in the outbox by e-mail. (I will not use surveys in EDUC
488 unless it seems that people need an incentive to finish the assignments.)
3
Since this is an upper division course, writers of plagiarized papers will fail the
course. All plagiarized papers will be reported to the Dean of Students. Be sure to
document all sources carefully. (The definition of plagiarism and a description of
the procedure to be followed in cases of plagiarism are to be found in the
Undergraduate Bulletin, page 396 ff.) I do follow up on suspected cases of
plagiarism.
