  • UEDU 1930 Intro to Socially Just Education
    • UEDU 1930 is a concurrent enrollment course offered in several high school districts.
    • This is a year-long course, and students only receive 3 credit hours.
    • UEDU 1930 will be split into two courses. Part I, taken in the fall, will focus on social justice issues in education and teachers as social justice agents.
  • UEDU 1931 Intro to Socially Just Education: Social Action Plan
    • Part II, UEDU 1931, taken in the spring, will focus on students developing a social action plan.
    • Students receive step-by-step instructions and hands on support to write a lit review.
    • Work with the Teacher Ed Leadership Team (TELT) to possibly find a course equivalent for UEDU 1931.
