EDUC 7853 - Education, Policy, and Politics

Organized formal education is controlled by policy and politics that affect access to education. This course will focus on how national and international governmental policy and politics address language, poverty, movement of people, sexual orientation, and gender, religion, and race, culture, and ethnicity as they affect educational access. The levers to impact policy and practice, which are available to stakeholders and organizations, will be explored. Students will be connected with one or more organizations for a requisite amount of time. The placement(s) will serve as an opportunity to examine critically the application of the theories, research, and ideas explored in courses 3 and 4.
