EPE 525-002 Topical Seminar in Educational Policy Studies: "American Educational Policy & Minority Student Access and Success"
Taught by Dr. John Harris on Tuesdays from 4-6:30 PM in 122 Taylor Education Building
The educational system in the United States has seen many changes over the past 250 years. In order to demonstrate how far we have come and how far we have to go to realize equitable educational access and subsequent access for all, this course will examine how public education has evolved since its inception in the United States through the lenses of race, class, gender and stakeholder groups vested in public education. In addition, this course investigates the notion that public pre-K through high schools are in and of themselves political institutions influenced by broader social institutions such as Congress, the judiciary and public opinion which can dominate and control educational policy making.
A reminder: The last day to add a course is Tuesday, August 28th.
