Higher Education 350: STUDENT OUTREACH, ACCESS, & RESILIENCY IN EDUCATION 

Mondays & Wednesdays 3-4:15pm

 

This course will introduce students to the role of individual, cultural,
social and environmental factors that affect student academic achievement
and the path to higher education in the United States. Students will be
exposed to literature and discussions that will allow them to analyze the
major theories and research conducted in the areas of college access,
outreach, academic achievement, and resiliency. The service-learning
component of this course (known as Project SOAR) expose students to these
various factors first-hand as they serve as mentors to middle school
students in 6-8 public schools in Tucson. Students will be expected to bring
their experience back to the classroom to enhance and refine their
understanding of the course topics, and provide a local angle on the
theories and literature discussed in-class. http://www.coe.arizona.edu/soar
