Department of Educational Leadership
Course Description
EDLR 608-This course will introduce sociological theory and practice. In addition, this class will also focus on
the use of analytical skills of the sociologist.
Course Overview
This course will provide students with a comprehensive overview of both past and contemporary approaches to school
and society. In the process of learning about the content and history of school and society, students will also
learn from sociological theory and practice to better understand and view in their professional fields.
The approach taken in this class will focus on applying sociological theory and practice needed
to address complex problems encountered by educators in both school administration and
teaching. Consequently, students will be better able to view their professional fields using
analytical skills in sociology. The need for such a disciplinary perspective is described
in the College of Education’s discussion of the knowledge needed to “Become a
Complete Professional.”
