ED 504B Grassroots Stakeholders and Urban Education Policy: Human Relations


In this course, students will examine the role of grassroots stakeholders such as students, parents, teachers, and community members in responding to neoliberal education policy. Students will use a critical policy lens to understand how neoliberal education reform creates particular conditions that affect teachers and students in urban school districts. By looking closely at several key contemporary issues as sites in which stakeholders are disempowered and, simultaneously, find ways to assert great power, the course will give students the chance to think critically about their roles as educators and citizens.
