ESS 30621 - Education Innovations in Diverse Contexts of Poverty

Institution:

University of Notre Dame

Subject:

Education

Description:

This course will look at innovative educational interventions for socio-economically disadvantaged children in diverse contexts - both here in the United States, and internationally. Whether it is the Comer model in New Haven CT, or Diversity Project in Berkeley CA, or EDUCO schools in Nicaragua, or Pratham's community based supplementary education programs for slum children in India; the course will explore in-depth promising education interventions for children and adolescents growing up in poverty in a globalized world. The course will aim to make students aware of the ways in which educators in diverse contexts of poverty and inequality have conceptualized and implemented empowering alternatives. In doing so, the course will help students better understand what is possible in contexts of poverty, and indeed what are the limits of the possible without any structural change in society.
