  • EDUC 1170 - FWS: Teens in Schools


         
    Fall, spring. 3 credits. Letter grades only.

    First-Year Writing Seminar.

    B. Duff.

    What do research and experience tell us about adolescents in the U.S.? What needs and desires are fundamental, and which are culturally or individually variable? Are U.S. middle and high schools (at least some of them) well designed in light of what we know about teens and the world they are growing up in? Insight into these questions will come from reading, frequent writing, discussion, and weekly trips off campus to work with students at a rural middle or high school.

    Outcome 1: Write formal essays that: 1) clearly, concisely, and accurately summarize texts written by scholars writing about education, 2) situate their own theses, and the arguments and evidence for them, in the context of claims and arguments advanced by those who have been writing in the field, 3) exhibit mastery of the conventions (e.g., spelling, punctuation, grammar) of academic English, 4) show academic integrity in their use of citations in APA style, 5) demonstrate growth in function and form, from initial to final draft and from early papers to later ones, 6) convey a sense of caring, engagement, and/or personality without distracting readers from the more “intellectual” qualities of the text

    Outcome 2: Use rubrics to provide constructive, actionable feedback on the writing of their peers.

    Outcome 3: Participate in class discussions in ways that show active processing of ideas, a growing vocabulary in the discipline, and attention to the contributions of other learners.

  
  • EDUC 2200 - Introduction to Adult Learning: CLASP Democratic Education Seminar I


    (D-AG, KCM-AG) (CU-CEL)     
    Fall, spring. 3 credits. Letter grades only.

    A. L. Raymer.

    Do adults learn differently than do youth?   This experiential and community-engaged course is for anyone interested in planning and facilitating adult, community and lifelong learning.  As inquirers ourselves, we not only study principles, theories and methods, we also put into practice what we learn. One of the ways we do this is by incorporating adult learning approaches within the seminar’s design and educational practice (andragogy, rather than pedagogy). Another way we apply what we study is by mentoring adult learners.  Each student serves as a learning partner to a Cornell employee who is pursuing an educational aim. A journey of mutual learning is a satisfying and meaningful adventure. As employees’ partners, we are co-learners and co-educators, recognizing that each person has knowledge and experience to bring to the quest. 

    Outcome 1: Examine the relationship of leadership and learning as a basis for informed practice.

    Outcome 2: Develop deep consciousness of one’s own core values, cultural backgrounds and intersectional identities for the purpose of mindfully engaging with others in constructive and respectful ways.

    Outcome 3: Identify cultural variables and examine roadblocks to intercultural communication.

    Outcome 4: Engage with the essential question, “How do we know what we know?” through consideration of theories of knowledge and conceptualizations of evidence.

    Outcome 5: Construct and pilot instructional designs and teaching practices for adult learners.

    Outcome 6: Examine trends of educational inequity in this country and ramifications in the lives of adults of poor schooling as children.



    Outcome 7: Examine trends of educational inequity in this country and ramifications in the lives of adults of poor schooling as children.

    Outcome 8: Through historic and contemporary cases, unpack narratives of popular education in community development, public engagement and social justice through formal, nonformal and informal venues.


    Outcome 9: Recognize that being an educator involves understanding issues of power, inequity, and access within a specific context of historical and systemic structures of oppression.

    (D-AG, KCM-AG) (CU-CEL)     
    Fall, spring. 3 credits. Letter grades only.

    A. L. Raymer.

    In EDUC 2210, Methods and Contexts of Adult Learning, we delve into contemporary and historical contexts of adult and community education.  We consider emerging theory and practice in light of current trends suggesting learning and knowing are changing rapidly—and require a wide array of the democratic arts of leadership.  Looking back, we study historical developments at the intersection of social change and adult education. Partnering with Cornell employees, we practice mutual learning in our community with adult learners participating in the Community Learning + Service Partnership, CLASP.  “A democratic and socially just society should enable all of its citizens to develop their potential to the full … Through learning, people can come to make a real contribution to their own communities and participate in local and national democratic processes.”  Communities: Change Through Learning.

    Outcome 1: Learn and practice the democratic arts of leadership for collaborative learning and action, including individual competencies as well as group, team and organizational facilities.

    Outcome 3: Take advantage of our course as a living lab opportunity to practice learning-focused leadership.

    Outcome 4: Trace and critically examine the development and evolution of thinking and practice in adult education and adult learning over time..

    Outcome 5: Practice habits of inquiry, integrative learning, evaluative thinking and reflection for meta-learning and improving effectiveness as facilitators of learning in our settings.

    Outcome 6: Apply principles of adult learning as the educational partner of an adult learner.

    Outcome 7: Gain perspective to situate CLASP in temporal context and conceptual landscapes through researching histories of, and contributors to:
    • Community, adult, extension and popular education and its international roots; and,
    • The origins of the Community Learning + Service Partnership program and its place in the larger narrative of Cornell’s public purposes, Land Grant mission and the visibly elevated emphasis on public engagement now.
