LC 328 - Learning Community: #Reimagining Education

One Credit
Fall Semester

In this LC, students will utilize a project-based model to examine current trends in education that seek to bridge the skills gap for the 21st century.  Alternate models of high school such as the six year high school, empowerment zones, vocational/technical high schools and charter schools will be evaluated for their potential to prepare students with marketable skills to meet the growing demand in the STEM fields.   Students will research pilot programs, interview innovators in the education field and tour local schools.  This research will culminate in a presentation to a panel of educators of the programs deemed to show the most promise.

Corequisite(s): Students must also take CSC 101  and SOC 212  as part of this Learning Community.
