COURSE OFFERINGS

Fall
• EDUC 170g – Introduction to Public School Teaching

• EDUC 180G – Human Inclusion and Development
This course is offered to all undergraduates. The intent of this course is to present ideas of Inclusion and Human Development in public education within a framework of social justice and accountability. The exchange of ideas represented by different perspectives and frames on the issues will be encouraged. Federal legislation mandates that all children in public schools be served in the least restrictive environment. Many models of inclusion including ‘full inclusion’ have been developed to meet this legislation. Concepts of inclusion have been at the heart of much of the on-going public dialogue regarding education. Course discussion will present and challenge concepts of Inclusion from a philosophical, psychological and educational stance. It is anticipated that this course will generate increased interest in the challenges of public education within a diverse society and will pay special attention to the most vulnerable learners, those that have been classified with special needs. The course will include discussions and review of relevant literature from psychology, philosophy and education with a focus on the current socio-political context. There will be an opportunity for action research as a part of the expected outcomes of this course.
