MPEd | Field of Equity, Diversity, and Social Justice
Description
This program is designed to build both professional knowledge and expertise, and to encourage leadership in equity and diversity education. The courses that are offered in this program equip professionals to build a deeper understanding of major equity concerns in education. The focus of the program is on building capacities for critical reflection, particularly in terms of infusing equity into everyday practices in education and policy contexts.
Case studies are used across all courses as a basis for supporting practice-based and critical reflective inquiry into infusing equity in education. Participants will be required to undertake a professional learning project in which they are encouraged to reflect on the application of fundamental principles of equity and social justice to their specific professional contexts.
