Urban Teaching and Leadership Seminar 1B

1.0 credits

Building upon the analysis of the current state of urban education in ED440, the spring Urban Teaching and Leadership (UTL) seminar considers conceptual frameworks and practical strategies that have the potential to address a range of dilemmas facing urban schools. Topics covered include: trauma, restorative practices, transformative pedegogies, and issues of equity and access in school improvement. The course meets five times during spring semester, usually from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Saturdays, with some seminars occasionally rescheduled for weeknights to accommodate guest speakers or special field trips.
