The nature, needs, and purposes of civic/citizenship education. A comparison of the goals of civic education in New York State with other US states and other countries. An examination of how curricular decisions are made in public schools in the United States.

This course will address diverse perspectives in education, multicultural education and how educators and schools can build supportive practices for all students. Public schools in the United States should be places that work toward the goals of providing all students, regardless of myriad intersecting identities, with opportunities for learning, growth, access to resources, safety, and equity. However, amid this struggle, the promise of education has played out unevenly for different groups both reflecting and contributing to social inequality. Through readings, projects, and class discussions, students will learn about significant issues in multicultural education and the impact of social justice issues in P-12 schools and beyond while thinking about action they can take in the future.
Well-implemented social emotional learning (SEL) programs positively affect students’ success in school and in life. This course focuses on three dimensions of social emotional learning: (1) students' social and emotional competencies (SEC);(2) the SEC necessary for professionals who work in educational settings; and (3) evidence-based, best practices that support SEL. This course lays the foundation for future educational professionals to provide direct instruction in SEL competencies in classrooms, small groups, or after-school settings. The focus is on the theoretical underpinnings of SEL, the research behind it, and the methods and applications of best practices in SEL. Prerequisites: ED206 or ED208.
