EDU 5620 Education and Entrepreneurship in The 21st Century
Students will explore trends in demography, politics and education policy, work, technology, the lifespan, and culture impacting the education of children, adolescents, and adults in recent decades. Changes across the full-range of settings and in the organization of Education institutions, in curriculum and pedagogy will be investigated through interviews, visits to sites, class invited speakers, lecture, and other activities. Most attention will be paid to the United States and to the Northeast, but some attention will also be focused on the ever-more important global trends. Students will become familiar with the basic principles of entrepreneurship and will identify opportunities in Education to enact those principles. They will create collaboratively an initial business plan, and/or curriculum, and/or media plan.
