Dynamic Perspectives in Education

Home E Events E Dynamic Perspectives in Education
67.5 PDPs

This course brings together candidates across programs to examine issues facing educators today. Focal points will include curricular and instructional decisions, legislative mandates, school financing, technological advances, diversity, special education, and related contemporary topics in education. Examining personal biases and clarifying individual perspectives to develop professional empathy will be an integral part of the course.

This course asks participants to analyze the philosophical underpinnings of the common issues that affect the instructional practices of teachers and the decision made by instructional leaders.

This course focuses on relevant topics that are currently shaping education today. In doing so, participants will identify and analyze the effect of these issues on the stakeholders and the eventual outcome of the interplay between instructional practices and instructional leadership. Essential questions that will guide the course are: What influences school leadership? How do we teach and learn in the era of school reform? Where is the balance between standardization and educational equity?
