Issues that Shape Teaching and Learning in Urban Schools and Communities
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.
