Title
Contemporary Issues in Educational Evaluation and Improvement (EDUC 737)
Alternate name
Professional Development Seminar – Program Evaluation and Improvement Research (EDUC 570)
Abstract/Description
Graduate students in the School of Education (as well as those in other schools and colleges at the University of Michigan) often feel a strong calling to make a big difference in US public education. Their aims are to improve educational opportunities and outcomes not just for students in a single classroom, school, or district but, instead, for lots of students across many classrooms, schools, and districts, especially those serving students of poverty and color.

Those who choose to pursue this calling find themselves needing to understand large-scale education reform as playing out in complex interactions among educational policy, research, and practice. These interactions can work in ways that support the improvement of educational opportunities and outcomes at scale. These interactions can also work in ways that complicate and undermine large-scale educational improvement.
