MSED 6170 - Advocacy in Education* (1 semester credits)

1 semester credit

In the ever-changing educational landscape, if teachers are not one of the voices in support of learners, who will be? In this course, educators explore the importance of speaking on behalf of students when educational needs are not being met. By examining research and collaborative dialogue, education professionals explore strategies for advocacy and what it means to be an advocate in the field. Educators challenge themselves to be innovative and transformative in how they think and act regarding how their students learn and the impact of advocacy on families and the school community at large.
