Welcome to the last unit in this course! This unit will focus on "putting it all together." Over the last several units, we have discussed critical topics that relate to society, family, equity, and diversity. These topics have been crucial in ensuring that you are well-equipped to work with students and families of all backgrounds. For unit 8, lesson 1 you will look at one more thing: cultural contexts and self-identity in education. This will help wrap up the course materials with regards to readings and videos.
