ED-6503: Pronatalism and Overpopulation The decision to have children or not is arguably one of the most important decisions we make in our lives. It is largely regarded as a personal and isolated decision and a natural rite of passage into adulthood. But how personal really is our decision to have a child? Pronatalism - a set of socio-cultural, ethno-political, religious, and patriarchal pressures that encourage, promote, or coerce reproduction - remains largely absent from our family planning discourse. Human population has doubled in the last 50 years, growing from approximately four billion in 1970 to almost eight billion currently. This is no surprise given that we are adding about one million new humans every five days. There is rising public awareness that overpopulation and rampant overconsumption are driving climate change, resource scarcity, and biodiversity loss here and abroad, yet it is a challenging issue to discuss. Together we will explore the concept and roots of pronatalism, its intersectionality with overpopulation and anthropocentrism, and its impacts on us, other humans, animals, and the environment. Participants will develop techniques for learning and teaching about these issues in a way that invites dialogue and positive solutions.

Candidates will critically evaluate the effectiveness of these models and gain direct experience with observation of teachers as one component of an effective evaluation system. Finally, candidates will work together to understand the intersection between the indicators of professional learning community in a school and educator development. In this way we can see how teacher evaluation not only serves as a process for the assessment and professional development of teachers, but also as a vehicle for the further development of important attributes of learning communities, like improved equity, shared norms and values, placing student-learning at center of the school endeavor and engaging in a cycle of inquiry that enhances self-reflection and educator development.

Typically requiring three semesters for completion, the Master’s Project involves an original research project. For those students who choose the Thesis Option, the project culminates in a formal academic paper. For those students who choose the Capstone Option, a more limited academic paper supports creative and interactive alternatives for sharing the results of original research. Both options are outlined in the Master’s Project Handbook. The Thesis Option should be the option of choice for those students planning to enroll in Antioch University’s EdD Program.

EDC-5020: Leading Inclusion Building Bridges One of the first and often discouraging realities for new educators can be the disconnection they observe between schools’ stated values and daily practices. In particular, inclusion, whether stated explicitly or indirectly in statements relating to diversity or difference, is usually part of a school’s vision and goals. However, most schools still have two separate systems - general education and special education - and attempts at collaboration between the two are often inauthentic or unsuccessful. In this course we will examine this phenomenon and consider the contributions that teachers can make towards inclusion in their schools. A primary objective of this course is to provide students with a framework for their participation in the Integrated Education program. Emphasis will be placed on identifying the assumptions, beliefs, and practices that maintain segregated educational systems and on developing the ability to see how connections can be made to integrate the two systems. Students will be asked to broaden their perspectives and to note how what they are learning in their courses applies to, or can be adapted to meet the needs of, an inclusive elementary classroom. In the transformation of school structures, teachers who build connections toward inclusion are change agents; in this course, students will develop their skills in the subtle yet challenging art of leading change.

EDC-5051: Beyond Discipline, Beyond Management Can we create classroom communities that reflect the values we’d like to see actualized in society? What do democratic classrooms look like, and why do we rarely see them in action? In this course we will explore ways to build classroom communities in which there is a shared responsibility for the success of all members of the community. We will examine a range of philosophical approaches to classroom and behavioral management. Students will explore these approaches through a critical lens, identifying strategies that resonate with their educational beliefs and emerging educational philosophies. Emphasis will be placed on the development of five teacher awarenesses - awareness of self, learner, interactions, context, and practice (Rodriguez; 2014). Students will engage in observation exercises, engage in personal cycles of inquiry, begin to find their teaching voice, and develop tools and strategies for creating democratic classroom communities in which all students flourish

EDC-5490: Place-based Education Drawing on children’s natural fascination with the world around them and their desire to make the world right, place-based education in the school setting offers an opportunity to develop a classroom into a living center of materials-based, community-related, cooperative learning, while fostering in children the attitudes, understandings and skills of environmentally literate citizens. This course will explore the potential roles of place-based education in an integrated curriculum examining both environmental education content areas and teaching strategies for the elementary years. Additional course focus will include approaches to dealing with environmental issues, both in the classroom as a school community; strategies for taking full advantage of a school’s outdoor site; and techniques for promoting a working interrelationship with the community.
