New Summer Graduate Course Offerings
Department of Curriculum Studies
University of Saskatchewan

I have developed 2 new graduate courses which I will be teaching this summer in our College of
Education. I am very excited about these courses as they begin to position a “curriculum of parents” as important in teacher education. Please be in touch if you have questions or comments. I’d love to hear from you.

ECUR 898: Re/Presenting Families in Schools
CRN# 60956

Representations of families exist everywhere. This course will explore dominant social, cultural and institutional narratives about families which underpin these representations and consider the influence they have on curriculum-making and decision-making in schools.
(Classes will be held weekday mornings, one evening/week, one ½ day Saturday.)
July 19th through July 30th, 2010

ECUR 898: Engaging Parents in Teaching and Learning
CRN# 60510

This course will explore what parent engagement is – and is not, conditions which invite engagement, the complexities and multiplicity inherent within it, and possibilities within programming and curriculum-making for incorporating parents’ knowledge.
(Classes will be held weekday afternoons, one evening/week, one ½ day Saturday.)
July 19th through July 31st, 2010
