ELP 201SEM - Educational and Social Policy in Action

Teach for America began as an undergraduate thesis and now serves tens of thousands of students around the country. This course gives students the opportunity to make a similar impact. Students will examine how social change happens, not just in textbooks, but in the real world. They should emerge with a deeper understanding of efforts to effect social change and new ideas for how to do so more effectively in the future. Course content will focus on poverty and social policy and will be enriched by multiple visits to local non-profit agencies.
