Educational Philosophy, Curriculum, and Social Justice (Hybrid)

Course Overview

This course will explore and analyze the historical and philosophical foundations of education, including curricular orientations, contemporary challenges, and reform efforts. Students will become familiar with a range of educational philosophies and will identify and articulate their own philosophy of education. Students will examine curricula as historically situated cultural systems that are influenced by: educational philosophies; social, moral, and political visions; aims for individuals and society; and/or other belief systems. Emphasis is placed on diversity, equity, inclusion, and social justice.

*We are currently scheduling 2 sections of this course: one in hybrid format (Section A) and one fully online (Section B). Stay tuned to see if both will be offered. We’ll make sure that everyone has an opportunity to participate in this course.

Course Materials: Students should contact the course instructor and review the course syllabus for information related to course materials/texts.
