EDU 495 - Senior Seminar

In the senior seminar students will synthesize their learning and knowledge of the four pillars of educational studies as presented in the educational studies major: the historical and philosophical foundations of educational practice, learning and development, social and cultural aspects of education, and policy studies in education. Such synthesis will focus on a particular theme or topic that will be determined by the instructor. Possible topics might include local and federal policy, culturally relevant pedagogy, critical theory, freedom of choice, parental rights, etc. Students will display their thinking and research skills in a project or thesis that will be either terminal or serve as a scaffold for those who plan to present their work in an honors thesis or project: EDU 496.
