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
