EDU-7100: Social, Philosophical, and Historical Contexts of Education

In this class students bring the problem of practice they identified during the application process and begin to explore it through the lenses of equity, social justice, and historical context. Students are asked to examine their own frames of reference in order to understand the origins of their personal views and how those views impact their professional practice. Students examine the historical development of educational philosophies and apply it to an essay that references at least three major educational thinkers and discuss how these works support, frame and/or challenge the students’ own approach to educational practice.
