Description

This course examines the social, cultural, and economic forces of education, including how curricula and reform initiatives affect schools, teachers, students, parents, and the larger society. This course critically examines the varying characteristics of local and global communities and how these factors impact curricula, instruction, and more. It also critically examines different societal trends that impact education. Catholic doctrine will serve as a guiding framework as students examine these trends. Students also participate in an embedded field experience.
