EDFD 608 The Culture of Schooling in America

In-depth examination of the major influences on education in a democratic and pluralistic society from an anthropological perspective. Students will be engaged in cultural inquires to relate the material presented in the texts, handouts, lectures, and videos to their own classrooms, schools, and communities. The goal is for teachers to take ownership of their classroom culture and to actively work to co-create with students a sustainable and inclusive classroom. 3 credits.
