A. CEPS AND LOYOLA NEWS
————————————————————-
A.1. CEPS Spring 2019 Graduate Course Offerings
ELPS 412, Sociological Analysis of Urban Education and Policy (Phillippo), WTC, Tuesdays, 4:15-6:45 PM
ELPS 444, American Schooling and Social Policy: A Historical Perspective (Sobe), WTC, Mondays, 4:15-6:45 PM
ELPS 455, Comparative Education (Jules), WTC, Thursdays, 4:35-6:45 PM
ELPS 555, Seminar in Comparative Education (Sobe), WTC, Mondays, 7:00-9:30 PM
Data-based decision making, empirical research and data-driven accountability systems are increasingly becoming the norm the world over. This seminar applies a critical lens to these developments with the goal of better understanding what consequences and implications quantification, “datafication”, algorithms, and analytics techniques sometimes referred to as “big data” have for schools, teachers, student and families. One premise of the course, warranting it being taught as a comparative education course, is that politics around data and evidence are not just restricted to national landscapes but are increasingly shaped through transnational networks and global interactions. The seminar will include a historical perspective on the rise of data in education and is suitable for graduate students from across the School of Education. Students will be expected to conduct an original research project as part of the course requirements.
A.2. ELPS 564 & 565 M.Ed. Internships – Spring Session (2019)
Are you interested in completing your M.Ed. Internship requirement this spring? Registration will be open soon and it’s never too early to start planning! Please consult the updated CEPS Program Handbook (https://www.luc.edu/media/lucedu/education/pdfs/handbk_ceps_10.2017.pdf) and the “MEd Internships” tab on CEPS Sakai page for additional information on the steps for setting up and undertaking your internship. Please read the guidelines and contact Brie Griffin, M.Ed. Internship Faculty Coordinator at (bgriffin3@luc.edu) to begin the consultation, site approval, and registration process.
A.3. CEPS Reading Group:
Following the first meeting of the CEPS Reading Group we decided on “You Can’t Fire the Bad Ones!”: And 18 Other Myths about Teachers, Teachers Unions, and Public Education by William Ayers, Crystal Laura, and Rick Ayers for our book for the semester. We will be reading chapters 1-10 in preparation for our next meeting. The book can be purchased on Amazon at this link. Our next meeting will take place Thursday, October 4 at 7:30pm in Lewis Towers 1030. We hope everyone can make it! If you weren’t able to make the first meeting, you can still join in! We hope to read the things that participants want to read, so if you have reading suggestions for next semester, please feel free to add them to this spreadsheet.
Thank you,
Max, Annie, and Ashli
