A Few Questions for me |
I am wondering if there will be a discussion of the possible solutions to solving inequality in Education or if there are any possible solutions at all. I would find readings on this subject interesting and would like to learn more about the topic if that is within the qualifications for this course.
What are keys to success in the course but also more importantly, how can I, as a student of education, get the most out of the course so that I can develop skills and techniques that will help me in the future?
One question I have about the course is how will service learning experiences be integrated within this courses content? In what ways will we relate those experiences to the material we are studying?
As a freshman, confidence is not in ample supply. What advice can you give to a freshman student teacher on how to build confidence? When you visit your former students performing their inspired missions, what attributes make you most proud?

What is History?What is Pedagogy?
“Zinn’s people’s history is passionate, probing, and partisan. Zinn begins from the premise that the lives of ordinary people matter -that history ought to focus on those who too often receive only token attention (workers, women, people of color), and also on how people’s actions, individually and collectively, shaped our society. And it’s a people’s history in that it’s a perspective on the past that is usable today, that can instruct and inspire and caution as we try to make the world a better place.”
