Renewal of the Demoralized Schoolhouse LO2/LO9 - Yontz (Syllabus)
Contemporary research suggests that American educators have moved from a feeling of deprofessionalization to being demoralized. The course provides an exploration of, and an opportunity to, analyze the professional dissatisfaction in our nation's schoolhouses. Readings will be focused on contemporary educational policy, teacher career trajectory, science of teacher selection, and how teachers' moral centers intersect with life in the schoolhouse. Recognizing a relationship between education and social progress, students will examine the influences policy, economics, and history have on opportunities for renewal of our demoralized schoolhouses.
