Additional Course Info | Class Number: 2585 Designed to be the first course for students interested in pursuing one of the options offered through the Education Program, this course is also open to students exploring an interest in educational practice, theory, research, and policy. The course examines major issues and questions in education in the United States by investigating the purposes of education. Fieldwork in an area school required (eight visits, 1.5-2 hours per visit). Approach: Cross-Cultural Analysis (CC), Writing Attentive;, ; Haverford: Social Science (SO) Fieldwork in a school setting is an essential component of this course. Accordingly, students are required to register for a field placement “lab-time.” “Lab-times” are offered Monday through Friday 9-1 pm. While the fieldwork requirement for this course is 2 hours, we ask for you to reserve a four-hour block one day per week to ensure that you have adequate time for transportation to and from your field site. If you are unable to set aside that time, we ask that you plan to take this course in a semester when you will be able. Be sure to select a lab time, but if you have a conflict and are hoping for a different time fill out the form here: https://www.brynmawr.edu/education/fieldwork-lab-time-registration-form-educ-b200-educ-b260-and-educ-b266 NOTE: If you are registering for two courses (e.g. EDUC 200 and EDUC 275), select the same lab time (e.g. Mondays 9-1 pm) for both, as one field placement can meet the requirements of two courses. If registering for three courses (EDUC 200, EDUC 275, and EDUC 266), register for two lab times (e.g. Mondays 9-1 pm; Tuesdays 9-1 pm) as two field placements will be required. Enrollment Limit: 22; Enrollment Criteria: Major/Minor/Concentration; Sophomore; Junior; Permission of Instructor; |
