TEP-6131: Sociological and Curricular Perspectives in Schools As Organizations

This course explores schools as organizational systems from research literature. Students develop familiarity for how systems operate and perpetuate themselves. Attention will be given to the structural, political, historical, ecological and cultural context of schools. These dimensions of schools will be identified and critically analyzed. Students also embark on the comprehensive study (historical, social, political, economic and cultural aspects) of curriculum reform in the US and CA, in particular. They examine the effects of legislation and other political influences on curriculum and school systems. Particular emphasis is placed on the roles informal leadership can take in educational and other organizations. Students’ basic assumptions about schools are deconstructed.
