All of the courses I teach are infused with an educational foundations perspective. Unfortunately many people (even some in the education field) have misconceptions about what it means to use an educational foundations perspective. Many people mistakenly equate educational foundations with introduction to education. Anyone who teaches in the Curriculum & Instruction Department should be able to comfortably teach an introduction to education course. Such a course would provide an overview to the organization of schools; a review of current issues in schooling, teaching and learning; basic information about common pedagogical practice (teaching strategies); and information about current resources educators use to engage in conversations about education (professional journals, web sites, listservs, and conferences). While a course taught from a foundations of education approach would include some of this information, the basic themes and analytical perspectives of the course would be very different.
