EDUC 640 - Proseminar in Education Theory and Practice

3 credits
This course explores key questions in education through an interdisciplinary lens in order to introduce students to a broad range of theories that undergird practice.  The course addresses the following themes: the purpose of education; the relationship between individuals and social contexts in learning; the role of identity in learning; learner agency; culturally responsive pedagogy; political and social contexts of education; and the role of technologies in learning.  Students will read multiple theorists and develop foci related to their own inquiries.
