Description
In this course students study conceptions of 'just' and 'effective' schooling, and the ways these priorities might be practically addressed. Through studying and mapping diverse ideological perspectives that prioritize 'just' and 'effective' schooling, students are provided with concepts to analyze educational contexts and programs committed to social equity. Engaging an inquiry-based approach, students make personal meaning in relation to these educational priorities to inform their teaching practice. In this course, schooling is understood as an ethical educational enterprise that is entangled with inequalities related to race, ethnicity, language, economics, gender, ability, knowledge systems and settler-colonial relations.
