EDUC 3004 - FOUNDATIONS: CONTEXTS OF EDUCATION

Back to all EDUC courses

This course is an overview of the structural relationships informing education and educational systems. We will examine the historical and philosophical roots of education and analyze the nature of power, culture, resources, and identity in educational contexts. Throughout this course, we will promote increased understanding and ability to articulate the role of structural and lived contexts in assessing and developing leadership, policy, practice, interventions, and outcomes.

Credits: 3.0
