EDU R122—Intro. to Education 3 units 
3 hours lecture weekly 
This introductory course is designed to provide students with the 
fundamental knowledge of the American educational system, using 
a multicultural approach to analyze urban schools. Concepts and 
methods selected from sociology and related disciplines (including 
sociology, anthropology, economics and philosophy) are used to 
understand and analyze current conditions in American Schools, and 
to evaluate models for reform. A minimum of 30 hours of observation 
in a multicultural school and/or community setting is required. 
This course is designed for students considering teaching as a profession, 
for paraprofessionals, and for volunteers working in the public 
school system. Field trips may be required. (Same as SOC R122)
