EDN 200 Monday

   

EDN 200 is the introductory course in the Watson School of Education teacher education program and provides a historical, sociological and philosophical perspective on education. The course introduces the conceptual framework of the WSE: teacher as professional decision maker and teacher as reflective practitioner. While students are provided with important knowledge pertaining to the U.S. education system, the course requires students to take an active part in thinking about the goals and purposes of education. In particular, the course challenges students to critically reflect on their experiences of education and to base their decisions about education and the decision to teach on informed and reasoned judgment.
