Educational Foundations, Policy, and Practice
Program Description
The concentration in Educational Foundations, Policy, and Practice (EFPP)
offers a program devoted to the critical examination of the relations
among education, society, culture, and government, with special emphasis
on problems of race, gender, social class, and multiculturalism. The program
stresses analysis and evaluation of educational theory, practice, and
policy, by drawing on philosophy and the social sciences. Its foundation
is critical scholarship, which examines educational institutions within
broad social, political, cultural, legal, and economic contexts in the
United States. Program faculty offer courses in social, cultural, historical,
and philosophical foundations; policy analysis; evaluation; curriculum
theory; and international and comparative education. Additional related
courses are available in other programs of the School of Education and
in other departments of the university. The program is designed to train
scholars, teachers, evaluators, and policy analysts for careers in academic
institutions and agencies at the state and federal levels.
