A study of school, societal and cultural issues and their influences on teaching and learning. As an introductory course, the purpose is to learn about teaching as a career choice, the historical development of American education, social and political structures in the schools, and power groups influencing educational policy. Issues of educational reform will include civil rights, students’ rights, ethnic, gender and racial issues, individualizing instructions, special education, learning theory models, ( inclusive of diversity issues related to electronic media) and alternative school structures.

Photo IDs must be obtained from the ASU Campus Card Office Prior to the beginning of the field experience component. Background check must be completed before classes begin.
