This course examines the implementation of school reforms across different nations and regions, analysing their impact on students, teachers, and educational systems. Through the exploration of relevant theories and concepts, students will develop the analytical tools needed to critically engage with key issues in school reform.
Each class is structured around a specific academic paper or book chapter, serving as a foundation for in-depth discussions. Students are required to read the assigned material in advance and submit a short essay (approximately one page) identifying key points of interest and areas of confusion. These essays will enhance the quality of class discussions by fostering thoughtful engagement with the material.
