Crossing Cultures: An Introduction to Cross-Cultural Understanding
This course is part of LEARN NC's catalog of online courses for teachers. Please see the current offerings at the bottom of this page for information about when it may next be taught.
Crossing Cultures is designed to help teachers improve their effectiveness in interacting with individuals from different cultural backgrounds. Utilizing intercultural theories, including a cultural value framework, learners will gain a greater awareness of their own cultural backgrounds, as well as acquire tools to interact appropriately and effectively with people from a variety of cultures.
Learners will learn from each other, as well as participate in several intercultural interactions with others outside of this course. Crossing Cultures culminates in a culture-specific presentation from each learner that will synthesize what is covered in the course.
This course is ideal for teachers who have students from a variety of cultural backgrounds, those in multicultural work environments, and others desiring to learn how to understand others’ behaviors from a different perspective.
