EDU 211 EDUCATION AND SOCIETY
The field of education is ripe with potential and fraught with controversy. This interdisciplinary course examines a variety of historical, socio-cultural, ethical, philosophical, and political issues that affect students, families, educators, schools, and communities. Example topics of study include social inequality, immigration, standards and accountability, race/ethnicity, school choice, and international comparisons. An integrated field experience enables students to analyze and interpret how some of the topics under study play out in our local community.
