ED 6022 - Critical Connections: Student Engagement, Empowerment, and Respectful Schools

This course will help students understand the dimensions of “power” associated with respectful teaching, school climate, and bullying. We will explore strategies for engaging and empowering all students to serve as community advocates and resources, experts, and school change leaders, with special emphasis on empowering those students who have been socially isolated or targets of bullying and harassment. Student civic engagement, service-learning, and social activism for social justice in schools and society will be explored and applied.
