EDU-696 COMMUNITY-BASED MASTER PROJ

The Master's Project developed for this course is community situated and begins with a topic of research that is of practical relevance to the community members involved and approved by the professor. Students are required to explore a topic/issue in depth as part of a field experience designed to allow for students to develop a greater understanding of the social context of education. Depending on their interests and the area of need identified, each student will provide an analysis of the educational issue and policies to be addressed from s sociological perspective (school and community contexts). The Master's Project is unique to each student enrolled in the course and the emphasis is placed on meeting the educational needs of the divers populations being served. A framework will be provided for the student to identify a community situated problem, in order to establish a collaborative, action oriented project aimed at meeting the needs and benefitting those involved.
