Reflecting & Moving Forward: Becoming Advocates for the Field of Education
As is the tradition of this course at the close of the semester, we need to look at what’s currently happening in the field of education. Then, we need to contemplate how current news stories directly and indirectly connect to what we’ve explored across the semester within our course, Teaching in Today’s Society.
