EDUC 249: May in Zambia: Exploration of Economic Sustainability, Education, and Culture

Apply
This course will examine multiple frameworks for understanding how Christian commitments can inform teacher identity and formation and guide professional practice.

This course will engage students in issues related to access to schooling, focusing on geography, socioeconomic factors, and disability. Participants will work in classrooms at The Esther School and also visit schools in Lusaka. We will focus on what it means to live out Christian faith commitments and practices in a variety of ways by examining multiple frameworks for how Christian commitments can inform teacher identity and formation and guide professional practice. A range of faith-informed practices will be examined in application to professional practice. The course will included attention to how the Bible, with its diversity of genres, functions as an educational text, as well as to exemplars of Christian engagement with education and key facets of teacher and student vocation. Participants will work with teachers to create lessons that reflect faith commitment and practices and also engage the economic sustainability initiatives of The Esther School.
