EDUE-545 Contemporary Issues in Christian Education

Contemporary Issues in Christian Education provides an opportunity for students to accomplish four major objectives. First, students will examine the links between education and its interpersonal context. Second, students will explore the ways in which teachers can serve as agents of change in the lives of their individual students, the education profession, and society at large. Third, students will study the ways in which contemporary issues and agendas for change demand the formation of a critically examined yet stable and defensible foundation of core values. Graduate students examine the ways in which a core of Christian values addresses contemporary issues and agendas for change. Fourth, out of the foregoing discussions, students will write a working draft of a Professional Mission Statement. This mission statement will serve as foundation for developing the Applied Masters Portfolio throughout the rest of the M.Ed. course of graduate studies.
