Violence in American Schools and Society |

EDZU 9814 (3 credits / 45 hours) | |||
Violence in our schools and society has become a serious problem facing all educators. Violence has added to the teacher’s already demanding role as educator and mentor to students. Violence has invaded our daily lives; constantly seen on the news, in schools, sports and dramatized on television shows and movies. Today teachers in all socio-economic areas must deal with violence’s influence on both schools and society regularly. We will look at all types of violence (school, social, domestic, cinema, etc.) that impact the safety of our students and their ability to have a safe and productive learning environment. Through this course, teachers will gain a greater understanding of how to detect these issues within their students, how to speak to them, and their parents. They will also be able to determine which support staff of the school (psychologists, social workers, guidance counselors, administration) would be most appropriate to approach regarding various issues. Violence in American Schools and Society will use government and think tank studies, scholarly readings, news stories, film clips and movies. This is a vital class for all teachers and support staff. We all need to be better acquainted with the strategies and resources available to best protect our most valuable assets – our students. |
