EDU 222 - School/Family/Community Partnerships in Urban Settings

2 Credit Hours

Theories and realities of diverse family structure and function will be the foundation of this course. The students will examine the unique roles of parents, family, and community in the lives of children who live in urban settings with particular focus on the racial, cultural, and ethnic groups that reside in the metropolitan Twin Cities. Opportunities will be available for students to compare their own life and family experiences to those of children living in today’s urban communities through primary research experiences. Clinical field experience hours are part of the course requirements (10 hours).
