Motivation to Teach Social Action:
As someone who teaches in SEEK and CUNY, and who will be teaching education and justice courses which often have a social action component, this will be extremely helpful to help me both plan my classes and learn how to teach social action.
Course Description:
This course examines the relationship of education to questions of justice as fairness in the U.S. It explores the historical, social, political, economic, and cultural contexts in which young people receive their schooling and analyzes the nature, causes, and effects of educational inequality. In the process of studying these issues, students will reflect on their own educational experiences and gain an understanding of the processes and expectations of college.
