University of Pennsylvania

Subject:

Description:

Staff. This course will examine the work of groups external to school districts that both support education professionals and challenge schools and school systems to meet the needs of children from low-income, often racially, ethnically or linguistically minority families. These groups are challenging the predominant school reform paradigm that looks to education professionals as the sole drivers of change. The course will introduce the theories behind different models of school/parent/community relationships and discuss the importance of civic capacity to school reform. Guest speakers, in addition to field observations, will bring the different models of parent/school/community relationships to life in the Philadelphia school reform context.
