This course examines the social, economic, political, cultural and historical factors that impact communities and shape teaching and learning in urban settings. A field experience with a local community organization working on an educational initiative will provide students with the opportunity to participate in, research, and develop understandings around the relationship among organizations, communities, and schools.
Outcomes: Students will be able to demonstrate a complex understanding of issues that face urban schools, their relationship to local communities and the educational resources that can be generated by partner ships between schools and communities.
