ESS 33650 - Toward Equity and Excellence in Education: A Review of Pedagogical Approaches from 1950 to Present

Institution:

University of Notre Dame

Subject:

Education

Description:

Students will examine issues of educational equity and achievement in the United States from 1950 to the present. The course begins by framing these issues in terms of social and cultural processes, using an anthropological perspective. Students then will examine issues of educational equity in relation to long-established patterns of social stratification by race, ethnicity, and class at the dawn of the Civil Rights era. Studies evaluating these efforts will be reviewed, and contemporary efforts to promote equity and excellence will be examined in relation to what has been learned from past efforts. This is an education-focused course.
