What role have schools played in the evolution of American society? This course invites you to take a step back from your own K-12 experiences and to critically position those experiences within a broader understanding of the U.S. education system. We will consider how education, broadly conceived, has the capacity to maintain and transform social inequalities. We will explore crosscutting themes of race, schooling, democracy, and notions of "progress," by examining topics in school segregation/integration, market-based reforms, pedagogy, learning theories, and the curriculum.
This course fulfills the Foundations, Breadth Category 2, or Elective requirement for the Education Studies major and minor. |
