CI 6119 - 60 Engaging Transformative Education

Transformational educators create learning experiences, melding the art and science of any subject that facilitates their students' connections and valuing of learning. The key to transformational teaching is not reacting but rather a passionate obsession with analysis and preparation. This course is the second of four courses focusing on transformational education and features engagement with transformative education. Students apply theoretical frameworks developed in the first course to analyze real school situations through this course. They will develop culturally sustaining and equity-oriented research questions worthy of study and further develop communication, decision-making, and problem-solving skills. Various leadership styles are considered in the context of transformational practice. Students will analyze educational policy, legal principles, and ethical implications of educational decisions.
