Description

In this course students will explore the historical, philosophical, and social foundations of secondary education and their relationship to the present day. The course provides a framework and tools to analyze, synthesize, and evaluate current issues and practices related to teaching and learning in the secondary context. This course places the development of high schools in historical perspective and relates both the roles of teacher and school organization to society. The differences be-tween education and schooling are examined, and current educational reform movements are explored within the context of critical educational theory. This course is identified as a Stage II field experience course and will include assignments that meet PDE identified required competencies (20 hours). (Formerly EDSC-524.)
