Teaching in Urban & Diverse Settings C.O.G.S.

The Certificate of Graduate Study (C.O.G.S.) in Teaching in Urban and Diverse Settings at Rowan University prepares teachers to examine their classroom practices, along with school and district policies, and to develop skills that create the possibility for more equitable and just outcomes for diverse students. Courses in the C.O.G.S. in Teaching in Urban and Diverse Settings examine curriculum, pedagogy, and how systems of power and privilege prevent students, families and communities from equitable opportunities for access,success, and equity. In these ways, the C.O.G.S. in Teaching in Urban and Diverse Settings also provides opportunities for those who wish to learn more about the sociocultural systems and contexts that inform community work in cities in general and working with city youth in particular. For these and associated reasons, our C.O.G.S. is also valuable to those wishing to further explore doing community organizing, working in formal and informal urban organizations, and other aspects that involve questions of equity, access, and justice for cities and city communities.
