EDUC 152 - Complexities of Urban Schooling


This course will examine the history, goals, purpose, and challenges of schooling in the US, and in particular, schooling in urban communities. We’ll explore movements of educational theory and policy, and how they’ve impacted outcomes for students of different race and class backgrounds, and we’ll examine the biggest challenges and policy issues facing urban schools in the US today. In partnership with school and community stakeholders, we’ll learn about the specific ways these challenges manifest in Worcester and plan innovative interventions to address these challenges for these stakeholders in a School Solutions Symposium.

For undergraduate students interested in educational studies.
