Course
EDU 940 Special Topics: Schooling in a Global Context
1 Credit, Requires Spring 2017 course registration
During this course, students will study the education system
in Italy as well the larger culture of Italy that informs the
educational context. Students will also discuss Montessori
and vocational education as they relate to the more general
approaches to schooling. The seminar will enable students
to further critically examine their assumptions regarding
school and schooling, building upon previous coursework in
EDU 232, 234, and methods classes. Through course
readings, special trips, guest speakers, and travel to
Sansepolcro, Italy, students will see a different perspective
on education. We will have school visits, meetings with
teachers and families, and experiences within the city of
Sansepolcro to help us understand education from this
perspective. Course meetings prior to departure will also
focus on preparation for the program and all that we will
experience in country.
