ED 683G - Gender in Education

Credits: 4

How does gender affect our experiences with education? What educational environments support the growth and development of students of all genders? What difference does gender make with respect to teaching and learning, and both inside and outside of the classroom engagement? These questions are central to understanding the role that gender plays in education. This course will examine educational theory, practice, and policy through the lens of gender identity and equity across the K-16 spectrum, and will focus on development of gender-inclusive environments. This class is cross-listed in Women’s and Gender Studies for both graduates and advanced undergraduates.
