EDFD111 Alternatives in Education

10 cp

This unit presents an eclectic range of leaders, thinkers, and committed individuals from different professions, cultures, worldviews, and historical periods. Those chosen are not generally part of mainstream teacher education programs and yet, through their life and actions, they embody certain qualities that exemplify what it means to be an inspiring and innovative teacher. Some of the individuals discussed have established their own alternative schooling systems, others have challenged the way people think and act within their chosen professions, while others through their alternative and creative ideas have presented new perspectives on life that have implications for education. Students will engage with these new perspectives and ideas and critically assess their value in providing positive, alternative educational initiatives.
