Description:

This course is designed to develop a multidimensional perspective on the American public education system. It examines historical, philosophical, sociological, legal, and political factors that have influenced, and continue to influence, American education practices. Diversity is explored as a source of enrichment, and as a challenge for schools and the communities they serve. Other major emphases are the examination of professional ethical standards, teaching as a career, and particularly the major provisions of recent legislation addressing educational reforms including the Show-Me Standards. Concurrent with the completion of the course, application to the Teacher Education Program must be on file in the Education Office. Main Campus students must also register for and/or have taken the C-BASE exam. Students at the Extension Centers should consult with their advisor as to the appropriate time to register for and take the C-BASE exam. Three Hours, Fall, Spring, Summer
