Hi -
We are in the process of examining our curriculum within the context of the
APA Learning Goals and Outcomes (among other things) and I'd be interested
to know how other schools handle Goal 8, Sociocultural and International
Awareness. As stated, the goal is. "Recognize, understand, and respect the
complexity of sociocultural and international diversity" and the Learning
Objectives are:
8.1 Interact effectively and sensitively with people from diverse
backgrounds and cultural perspectives.
8.2 Examine the sociocultural and international contexts that influence
individual differences.
8.3 Explain how individual differences influence beliefs, values, and
interactions with others and vice versa.
8.4 Understand how privilege, power, and oppression may affect prejudice,
discrimination, and inequity
8.5 Recognize prejudicial attitudes and discriminatory behaviors that
might exist in themselves and others.
I have all of the information from the APA web site Bill listed in his post.
What I am interested in is specific ways that other programs are achieving
this goal effectively through coursework and/or other activities.
Do you have goals/objectives that are aimed at these issues but are stated
differently (that you'd be willing to share)?
Are there any programs out there that would be considered "model programs"
with regard to addressing these issues?
