Students will be challenged to reflect on and apply prior learning experiences to newer/current educational issues in order to gain a deeper perspective on those issues and develop possible solutions to problems. This course will utilize reflection, inquiry, and action that lead to the development of an action-based research project aiming to study educational issues in real world contexts. Working with their peers, students will develop an action research project which will culminate in a poster session to share results.

This course provides an overview of instructional planning, classroom management, and assessment used in inclusive early childhood settings.

Introduction to the roles of federal, state, and local government in US K-12 education policy, the diverse ways of studying education policy, and to specific current policy issues including educational accountability, school finance, the controversy over school-district regionalization in Massachusetts, challenges facing urban schools, and how research affects education policy debates.

Course will approach the study of the link between education and globalization from two directions: one, from a study of recent policy initiatives in education with a view toward understanding how a particular kind of globalization is being constructed through education policy; and two, from a study of the varied literature on globalization with a view toward assessing the different constructions of globalization that are possible, and the implications of each for education policy.

The purpose of this practicum is to provide students with practicing and supervised training in administering assessments common to the practice of school psychology. Such assessments include cognitive and intellectual assessment, educational and academic assessments, curriculum based assessments and measurement, and social/emotional and behavioral assessments.
