EDUC 043. Teacher Narratives, Policy and Power

This course is an exploration of the lives of teachers: how they are framed within popular culture and policy, and how they frame themselves within the politics of the classroom, schools and broader society. Students will work with various critical social theories and analytical tools to think through teacher narratives, historical and sociological texts, film, policy debates, guest presentations, and other sources. Assignments will include conducting interviews with educators and producing mixed media projects that reframe educator identities.
