Organizational Diagnostics

0.5 Course Units

We will explore sociological theories of organization in order to develop our diagnostic knowledge of how classrooms, schools, and education systems function. Our approach will be to consider foundational theoretical works alongside recent empirical applications. We will use case studies to help illuminate our understanding. In order to ground these concepts, students will diagnose cultural, political, and institutional facets of an educational organization. Fall 0.5 Course Units
