ES 6310 - Global Perspectives on Educational Reform

This course examines policies and practices of educational reform around the world, as well as the ways in which the two are interpreted and integrated in today’s schools. The systemic policies and practices of teacher education in high-achieving countries are analyzed to show how they are dealing with teacher quality, equity, and the changing global society. By exploring the issue of educational reform from a multinational perspective, students will develop their own new and enhanced conceptions of the best and most appropriate agenda for school reform in the United States.
