ED 505 Cultural Foundations of Education
(3 credits)
In this course, students will examine the ways in which educational institutions and the teachers within them structure learning experiences for various students depending in part on their interpretations of these students’ “differences.” Educators must be aware of issues that may arise due to at least two factors: (1) differences between teachers’ and students’ backgrounds and how institutions and individual teachers create learning environments to engage with these differences; and (2) how aspects of identity are framed and understood by teachers, parents, students and school administrators. In order to deepen our awareness of these issues, throughout this semester students will explore the formation, meanings and implications of various ideologies and beliefs specifically as they relate to teaching and learning. We will challenge common beliefs about our educational system as well as the society in which it has been shaped.
Course is Exempt from School of Education Background/clearances check policy.
