is the introductory course in the Watson College of Education teacher education
program and provides a historical, sociological and philosophical perspective
on education. The course introduces the conceptual framework of the WCE:
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. |
