EDUC 388 - Comparative Education Systems

This course explores similarities and differences between educational systems in the United States and England. We will consider how differing beliefs about the purposes of education and a country’s attitudes toward class and racial differences influence teaching, learning, and educational achievement. Additionally, experiences will further inform our understanding of the relationships among politics, regulatory structures, assessment systems, and curriculum in schools. In a final synthesis, students will narrate their experience and discuss how what we have learned will influence their future teaching.
