EDUC 3223 - Faith and Culture

3 credits

[Meets the Core Curriculum Writing Practice Requirement] Modern day schools have become a complex collection site of learners, teachers, staff, administrators, and parents. Teaching effectively requires competency in content matter, sound pedagogy, and, just as important, and understanding of student backgrounds and the lens from which they view the world. This course will explore different worldviews, including those rooted in faith, and how they impact learning and teaching in the classroom. The aim is that students understand the complexity of the classroom, and use this as inspiration for how they will create an environment of learning in their own classroom.
