Students develop an informed discourse that enables them to analyze classroom dynamics through the use of social theory as they examine case studies, ethnographies and complete a field based observation study. Through these experiences students are expected to reflect on their own socialization and begin to shape an understanding of how social structures have impacted their own educational experiences as well as those of others. Students must register for a fifteen (15) hour field practicum that is taken concurrently with this course. This course is only offered to students who have attained sophomore status.
