Abstract

Education courses are open to Rice students studying for careers in teaching and to Rice students interested in studying the complexities of the educational system and its role in society. The program provides fieldwork grounded in education research and theory. All of the courses include field-based experiences that encourage students to compare and apply their theoretical work to what is actually happening in schools. Our 21st century mission is to prepare and support teacher leaders to work with diverse students and be responsive to the paradigm shift in education that moves our children from passive recipients of knowledge to active responders to the knowledge they explore.
