R, 12:00-1:18 Arps Hall 345
Dr. Adrienne Dixson, School of Education
Part hands-on, part theoretical, this course introduces students to the interdisciplinary field of urban education through an examination of professions that serve urban schools. Students will have the opportunity to observe in urban schools, interact with professionals who serve urban students, and delve into the research that informs the field of urban education. This focus on research will include those professional fields, i.e, teaching, school administration, counseling, school psychology, social work, among other professions, that support and serve an ever increasing diverse demographic that comprise the urban school population. The course texts and discussions will pay particular attention to the ways in which schooling is (and has always been) impacted by issues of race, class, gender, sexual orientation and physical ability.
