Investigating Critical & Contemporary Issues in Education

Catalog description

This course engages pre-service teacher candidates in observations, interactions, and analyses of critical and contemporary educational issues. Pre-services candidates will investigate issues influencing the social and political contexts of educational settings in Georgia and the United States. Pre-service candidates will actively examine the teaching profession from multiple vantage points both within and outside the school. Against this backdrop, students will reflect on and interpret the meaning of education and schooling in a diverse culture and examine the moral and ethical responsibilities of teaching in a democracy. A 10-hour field component is required.
