Crossing Cultures: An Introduction to Cross-Cultural Understanding
Begins May 13
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.
