ECE 7652:Partnering with Urban Families and Communities

3 Credit Hours
Prerequisite: ECE 7651
This course will provide an overview of the intersecting systems that influence the teaching and learning in urban education. Students will explore theories that describe how children and families exist as parts of larger systems and environments, and critically examine their pedagogical approaches to teaching and learning in these systems and environments. Candidates will be expected to take a student/family/community centered approach to instruction that is asset based and leverages the intersection identities present in urban classrooms. This course contains field requirements for completion.
