EDM 563 Educational Foundations: Theory, Practice, Self (3
credits)  Participants will examine their own educational
beliefs, personal values, and instructional practices in light
of historical/sociological issues, themes, and theoretical
approaches to education. This course will emphasize that the
structural basis of schooling and what does and doesn’t get
taught in schools are deeply embedded in the social, cultural,
and political context of a particular time. There will be an
emphasis on educators making connections between current and
historical struggles in education in order to analyze
alternatives to current practices. Through dialogue, readings,
and activities, educators will explore issues of equity and
social justice for all children.    • Offering: Fall semester
