Lynch School of Education & Human Development
What kinds of education are most needed for a world characterized by spiraling political polarization, increasing economic interdependence, rapid climate change, and a global pandemic like COVID-19? This online course will introduce students to contemporary debates about how educators should teach, what students should learn, and how schools should interact with society. The course is global in scope and will require in-depth study of country cases and failed and successful models of change. International students and U.S. students curious about other countries' approaches to education are strongly encouraged to enroll.
