Overview
Through reflection on one’s own schooling experiences; a field experience in urban schools; an examination of issues, concepts and characteristics of urban public school systems and urban teaching; consideration of student reactions to schooling and their lives outside of school; and consideration of the relationships between race, gender and schooling; this course will address the questions: “whether urban students are provided appropriate and/or effective educations?” and “what would equal opportunity require?”
