Description:

This course is designed to promote a global perspective of education and to challenge assumptions about the American education system in light of the experience of learners throughout the world. Interaction with students and educators from other countries will encourage a connection to cultures and issues that are part of the various systems of learning and ways of knowing. By developing a broader awareness of education from an international scope, students in the course will gain insight into dominant culture thinking, education reform, and the strengths and limitations of schooling in the United States. The results of the study will help students develop classroom practices and an informed teaching philosophy that will equip them for diverse classrooms. A service project is arranged at one of the locations visited, where possible. (3 s.h.) Fulfills the cultural awareness core requirement.
