Course content
The course explores and develops education for social justice in the classroom and school. The focus is on community building teaching and learning that promotes all students' mastery and connection. This involves practices for recognition and appreciation that strengthen individual students' relations in the social community, and the formation of a democratic learning environment.
Students learn strategies to reduce the importance of ethnic divides, gender stereotypes, economic inequality and variation in functional ability among students. Central tools are teaching that promotes skills in collaborative learning between students who have different strengths, recognition between students in the classroom, and recognition of diversity within and across all socially created categories of people.
Students will learn to use a breadth of sensory impressions as a basis for teaching and learning experiences, with a focus on bodily experiences as a source of variation in working with adapted education for all students. Work with physical learning requires creative work with the place and space of teaching, and the course will provide insight into different uses of outdoor spaces, school spaces and the local environment.
Furthermore, the students' experience of collegial development work and collaboration on inclusive practice will form the basis for exploring the possibilities for collective strengthening of inclusive practice in their own workplace.
