With the strong support of COEHD and ELPS, I’m pleased to announce that we are running our first ever undergraduate education ethics and law course this summer, as we prepare to offer this course (in its 2 sch version) starting this fall. This is a three hour course, EDU 4953, titled Special Studies in Education Law & Ethics, that will be offered during the first 5 week summer session in June and early July. Starting in the fall, the EDU 3002 course titled Ethical and Legal Foundations in Education will be a regular offering in the new BA in Equity in Education program. This is a huge step for the COEHD, and I’m grateful to the COEHD to be a part of this course offering. For summer 2022, please find attached a pdf and a png of the “advertisement” for the course. Please share widely with your undergraduate students; please also let them know that the only prerequisite is instructor approval. In an era where nearly everything that goes on in public education has the potential for litigation, and where public education is increasingly being attacked, preparing our teacher candidates and others who otherwise have an interest in public education has never been more important. Thank you in advance for sharing this information and please have a successful wind down of the semester and a great summer! David Thompson David P.
