Introduction to International and Comparative Education

(3 Credit Hours) · Undergraduate

In this course we will engage in an interactive seminar-style discourse that grapples with current concepts, issues, and trends associated with comparative and international education. We will consider education in its relation to economic and integral human development in lower-income country contexts. We will also discuss various issues from comparative education - including school choice, accountability systems, and teacher policy and practice - attempting to learn from exemplary case studies and top performing countries.
