EDFD 462 - Multicultural Youth, Children, and Families Part II

(1 S.H.)

This course provides a structure for acquiring, planning, and implementing ethnographic strategies designed to help students identify the sociocultural influences on educational processes and reform efforts occurring in local school districts. Sociological theories, including Functionalism, Conflict Theory, and Interpretivism, are used to analyze the meaning of said processes and reform efforts for stakeholders in the districts analyzed. The foci of these analyses are to help students collaborate with stakeholders in the ethnographic settings to ensure educational equity and social justice for diverse learners traditionally marginalized in educational settings.
