Prerequisite: Admission to a Bagwell College of Education graduate program.
Although a strong body of research exists on at-risks students and low academic achievement, few studies have attempted to understand the variables within formal & informal schools that counteract these risks. This course takes a critical lens into positive deviance taking place in our current education system to counteract low academic achievement outcomes of diverse student populations. Through the development of theoretical and practical knowledge, empirical research, and the use of effective social justice education practices, candidates will understand and analyze the components to become effective agents of change in student achievement.
