INCL HEALTH & EDUC PRAC FOR DIVERSE

PREREQUISITES: EDSP2015 & EDSP3015. This course is designed to provide school nurses with the knowledge and skills to support the development and well- being of students, particularly those with disabilities, through ethical, data-driven practices. Special emphasis will be placed on culturally relevant pedagogy, with participants reflecting on their own cultural biases to develop asset-based perspectives of student differences. Through the study of professional standards such as the PA Code of Professional Practice, PA Educator Discipline Act, and the PA State Professional Nurse Law, participants will develop a deep understanding of the ethical and legal responsibilities related to student welfare. The course will also address how to recognize and challenge microaggressions in diverse learning environments, and foster collaboration through effective communication among all stakeholders.
