Transforming Learning and Teaching in Schools and Communities

This course builds on students’ prior theoretical and experiential knowledge of theories of learning and development across the lifespan with emphasis on the sociopolitical consequences of historically-honored conceptions of learning and knowing. Diverse ways of knowing, how these are influenced by social conditions, and how communities create spaces for meaning construction are examined. Critical perspectives on and approaches to the distinctive needs across the lifespan of all learners, including those joining the community from other cultures, persons with disabilities and English Language Learners, are examined.
