Additional Course Info | Class Number: 1482 This course examines issues, challenges, and possibilities of urban education in contemporary America. We use as critical lenses issues of race, class, and culture; urban learners, teachers, and school systems; and restructuring and reform. While we look at urban education nationally over several decades, we use Philadelphia as a focal “case” that students investigate through documents and school placements. This is a Praxis II course (weekly fieldwork in a school required) Approach: Cross-Cultural Analysis (CC); Haverford: Social Science (SO) ( ) Fieldwork in a school setting is an essential component of EDUC 266. Accordingly, in order to register, students are required to register for a field placement “lab-time.” While the fieldwork requirement for this course is 2 hours, we ask for you to reserve a four-hour block on Tuesdays, Thursdays, or Fridays to ensure that you have adequate time for transportation to and from your field site. If you need to take the course this semester, but you are unable to register for a lab-time, please complete the following wufoo form: https://brynmawr.wufoo.com/forms/mvhfvdj01w0b78/. |
