UEP 212 Policy Debates and Controversies in Education--Panel Sessions
This course will be taught by L.A. School Board member Steve Zimmer. The course will consist of a series of high profile panel discussions about some of the major issues in Education today. These include "The Future of the Urban School District" "The Crisis in Public Education Funding" "Charter Schools and Public Education" and "The Future of Education Reform in Los Angeles and Beyond" among several topics to be developed. Board member Zimmer will then engage with students in a seminar discussion in the subsequent course UEP213 about the issues and debates and research opportunities that follow from the panel discussions.
