EDUC 282 - Progressive Teaching and Learning

This course enables students to understand the principles and practices of community-based education through both participation and academic study at two unique fifth dimension program sites. Students integrate their experience with (a) study of the psychological theories and philosophical perspectives that underlie the design of the Fifth Dimension and similar community-based learning programs and (b) an examination of how these design principles define and practice the role of teacher and learner.
