ECS 110 - Self and Other

This course contributes to students' understanding of their emerging teacher-identities, including the following topics: cultural and psychological discourses producing the roles of teacher, constructs of self and other in relation to difference; and agency in the development of teacher identity. The implications of anti-oppressive and other orientations to families, communities and schooling are explored.

This course reflects the Faculty of Education's commitment to preparing teachers who are knowledgeable and compassionate in their professional practice and who will be guided by a sense of social and ethical responsibility in relation to their students and the wider society. The course is intended to stimulate prospective teacher's critical reflection upon their persona assumptions about educational issues in relation to understanding of identity and to complement the implication of those assumptions for ethical and equitable teaching and curricular practices.
