TEACHED 351/MSED 451: Special Topics: A Good Education in Philosophy, Literature and Film
From Socrates to School of Rock, we'll work with a broad range of texts
(including philosophical and literary texts, films and podcasts) to explore notions of goodness in education: What does it mean to have a good education? What is a good enough education? Can goodness can be taught? What do we mean by a good teacher, a good student and a good school? We'll also consider the proper relationship between school and the larger society as we work toward articulating our own philosophies of education.
