Place, Practice, & Identity

Catalog description

How powerful is the physical space in which teaching and learning occurs outside the mind? How can educators design such spaces? This course explores these questions and more by considering how social settings, networks, and communities of practice - and the roles that members in these settings - influence how students engage in particular practices and learn new ways of thinking and being. Particular emphasis on specific student populations under study include Latinos, and those defined as marginalized for this course, including emerging bilinguals, migrants, immigrants, and others. Prerequisite: BED 5331 with a grade of C or better. Restricted to Level of DR, GR.
