ED 698 - Working with Diverse Schools and Communities


2 credits
In this second course of the ethnography thesis project, students learn about the schools and communities in which they work, and in which their three student subjects go to school. Through interviews and visits candidates place the lives of their three ethnography subjects within a larger social context. Candidates interview school personnel to learn about programs and other resources within the school that may assist in improving the quality of their students' education. Candidates also visit community institutions and establishments, interviewing members of diverse organizations in order to better understand the inherent social and cultural capital within the community. Candidates continue to collect data and work with their three identified students while completing Section III of the ethnography project.
