EDU 450 - Teaching Areas of High Need

Semester Hours: 2

This course will address the racial, cultural, and economic needs of school districts trying to narrow the achievement gap.

Students will participate in an in-depth practicum in a high-need school under the mentorship of qualified educators. PDE Stage 2 - Exploration: 20-80 hours.
