Students, thus, may choose to complete their internship in one of the specialization areas: school or clinical mental health counseling, a college teaching experience, an administrative and research experience, or some combination. A student may have a placement at his or her site of employment although 20% of the experience must involve new experiences.

  • EDCS 5010 - History & Philosophies of Education



    Examines educational history and philosophy by approaching the two fields as interconnected social moments in a long conversation about the role and purposes of education in the United States. The social practice of education grows out of the explanatory constructs we hold about our history and several philosophical themes relevant to education. Themes include: (a) the various conceptions of human nature, (b) the relationship between the individual and the group or the citizen to the state, (c) the nature of the “good” life, and the nature of knowledge and the processes of knowing. Given that philosophies do not exist and are not created within a vacuum, explores how our history contextualizes the development of our philosophies, that in turn impact the way we develop and carry-out schooling. Also examines select non-western historical and philosophical legacies that impact how education was or was not accessible to historically marginalized peoples.

  • EDCS 5040 - Sociology, Politics, and Change in Education



    Education is not a neutral endeavor. It is both a societal enterprise and a localized social activity; as such, it is embedded in an ever changing socio-cultural context.

Who benefits from education as it is constituted? Who decides curriculum, structure, funding, etc.? What are the implications for any given educational setting? Who is marginalized by the way we “do” education in the U.S. context? What does educational change look like? Is change possible in U.S. schools, and if so, in what manner? Critically examines the complex interactions of societal structures and political ideologies as they intersect, influence and impact educational realities in U.S. public schools.

  • EDCS 7010 - The Social and Cultural Contexts of Leadership



    Examines the concept of leadership as perceived and constructed in the United States based on the traditionalist conception of what leadership is and should be universally, that is, the Western canonical paradigm. The existence of leadership outside the Western cultural canon and the discourse that elicits the critical-cultural and social construction of leadership is scarce and, in many instances, noticeably absent. Examines leadership studies first, by investigating the cultural foundations of leadership; second, by investigating the cultural production of leadership and its significance from a social critical theoretical context; and third, vets leadership from a non-traditionalist (non-Western) historical perspective. Leadership and its development is both a social construction grounded in the cultural historical context that produces it; hence, all leadership is inherently critically cultural. Contextually all leadership is a social, cultural, historical construction (thus political) by the nature of who the leader is and what leadership paradigm they employ. Investigates this dynamic and the critical discourse in leadership studies referred to as transformational leadership.

Assumes that leadership extends beyond traditional roles and models of leadership. Examines how people who consider themselves leaders and or change/agents recognize and make moral and ethical decisions in their practice. The discipline of Western philosophy has developed multiple moral frameworks in an effort to explain how and why we make moral and ethical decisions and/or what guidelines we might rely upon in doing so. In addition, developmental psychology has also paid attention to the stages of moral development and reasoning for the same purpose. It is worthwhile to be familiar with these philosophical models, and at the same time be aware that most people make moral and ethical decisions drawing upon multiple rationales, cultural value sets, and contexts. Examines the serious import of understanding oneself and one’s moral and ethical living and decision-making, given the depth of impact of moral and ethical decisions in people’s lives.
