Education and Child Study 201 - EDUC-WESTERN MASS: CASE STUDY

This course explores the question: Why has it proven so difficult in the United States to create more schools and districts where educational opportunity is distributed fairly? How can a close study of the educational systems of Western Mass help us understand how educators and policy makers attempted to provide a quality educational experience for students when issues associated with their social and economic environment often present significant obstacles to teaching and learning? This course will serve as a companion experience for students who participate in the Urban Ed Fellows program, which places students in teaching internships during January.
