EDUCATION 203- Education in American Society

The primary goal of this course is to give students interested in pursuing a career in education the foundation with which to do so effectively. The problems confronting urban schools are bound to the social, economic, and political conditions of the urban environments in which schools reside. Many education reform efforts focus on changing instruction and organizational structures within schools. However, educators often fail to address factors in the larger social context that effect schooling. Thus, this course will explore social, economic, and political issues, with an emphasis on race and class as they have affected the distribution of equal educational opportunities in urban schools. Students will be encouraged to employ critical-thinking skills and engage in academic discourse around current issues in education and to explore various pedagogical modalities.
