CI 6118 - 60 Exploring Transformative Education

Transformational educators create experiences, melding the art and science of any subject and facilitating their students' learning. The key to transformational teaching is not reacting but rather a passionate obsession with analysis and preparation. This course is the first of four courses focusing on transformational education and educators. It introduces experienced educators to an overview of some theories associated with educational practices that transform learning, culturally sustain and foster equity-based classrooms, and how schools engage in research that transforms personal practice, explores transformative leadership in a school context, and applies ethical frameworks and legal principles related to educational initiatives. Prerequisite(s): admission to the Transformative Education MAE program.
