FORM 2050 Transformative Teaching and Learning

What distinguishes transformative education from status quo teaching and learning? What are the practices by which we effect intellectual, personal, and social transformation? This course investigates transformative education at the level of classrooms, schools, and school systems, considering approaches focused on deeper learning (mastery, identity, and creativity), character development (moral, performance, civic, and intellectual), and social transformation (purpose, vocation, and justice).
