SEC 500Foundations Of Secondary Educ

Catalog

This course will be taught from an interdisciplinary perspective, focusing on the cognitive, social, historical, economic, and other social influences on the ways in which secondary education has evolved over time and linking that perspective to current issues in education. While much of your professional education will prepare you for careers with an emphasis on pedagogical skills and academic content knowledge, this introductory course will attempt to situate that knowledge within a larger framework; the processes and contexts that have shaped and continue to influence secondary education in the U.S. Offered: fall and spring. 3 credits.
