EDUC 318 - High-Needs Schools

An in-depth investigation and analysis of high-needs schools. Students learn about the “problems” facing such schools. The course also focuses on challenging views that are unduly pessimistic or do not fully represent the complexity of high-needs schools, communities, and their children. Students are involved in service-learning projects with high-needs schools to further their understanding. They engage in critical dialogue and evaluate the effects of educational reform and policy changes. This course satisfies 35 of the required school-based fieldwork hours for students seeking teacher certification.
