GR

This course is designed in part to be a comparative look and evaluation of elementary/secondary schooling and educational theories in the global context of other countries/nations. The goal of the course is to help educational leaders understand key ideas central to ongoing research in teaching and learning in a global international perspective. It emphasizes ways in which cultural, social and organizational contexts influence learning. Candidates will reflect on what constitutes best teaching and learning practices, consider, and debate if best practices are national and applicable only in one national setting or can they be universal and be inclusive of a spectrum of cultures. Candidates, as educational leaders, will consider their own biases, their own cultural background experiences, and educational experiences to construct their own thoughts concerning global educational theory.
