This course helps you to break down the ways in which classrooms and communities relate so that you, as an educator, can make a difference and promote equitable and inclusive learning. You will be introduced to activity theory as a way to pull apart the relationships between classrooms and communities, providing you with lenses and tools for engaging community contexts in your teaching. This course is a part of the Classroom in Context microcredential through the Digital Education Hub.

1. Summarize activity theory in the context of classroom-community relationships;
