Foundations Block Courses
The Foundations Block includes three courses in the social and psychological foundations of education, with an embedded fieldwork component in a school with a diverse population. Closely connecting coursework with participation in a field experience is an instructional model that allows students to apply their learning and begin making connections between theory and practice.
