CONTEMPORARY ISSUES (45-0-3) This course is a critical and theoretical exploration of the “Foundations of Education” and engages students in observations, interactions, and analyses of critical and contemporary educational issues.

Students will actively examine the teaching profession from multiple vantage points both within and outside the school. Against this backdrop, students will reflect on and interpret the meaning of education and schooling in a diverse culture and examine the moral and ethical responsibilities of teaching in a democracy. Successful completion of 10 hours of field experience is required. This course prepares students for transfer to complete a Bachelor’s of Education degree in Elementary or Middle Grades Education. Students interested in B.S.Ed. transfer should enroll under the General Studies AS major.
