CAP 601 Cultures of Schools and Communities

This course examines educational communities as complex socio-cultural settings affected by political, sociological, cultural, religious, and historical contexts. Students examine art--its production, consumption, and representation as a cultural text. Students engage in socio-cultural experiences of self and of others through autobiographical reflection and analysis. Students integrate personal reflections and theoretical readings with fieldwork to analyze contextual dynamics that influence teaching and learning within the institutional settings of schools, families, and communities. This course requires approximately 15 hours of fieldwork. Pre-requisite(s): Admission to the NCE program Doctoral Studies in Teaching and Learning, or consent from instructor.
