Studies in Urban and Metropolitan Education

An examination of economic, social, and technological developments in United States cities and the resulting educational changes for children in present-day urban areas. The social identities of children are explored in terms of race, class, gender, ethnicity, and ability. Promising programs of urban education are examined as well. This course discusses hazards to children, including child abuse, substance abuse, and child safety, as well as violence prevention. A fieldwork component of 20 hours immerses candidates in varied education environments to examine the connections between school and society. Not open for students who have taken EDE 200, EDS 201, or equivalents.
