  3. This presentation is partial satisfaction of ED 251, Education For a Democratic, Pluralistic Society. This is an advanced study of the economic, social, historical, philosophical issues related to the schools, students, and the society.

  4. In the course, we address the implications of theories and research concerning the history of education and schools, the nature of learning, values, democratic education, pluralism, equal opportunity, and barriers to the above. The course will examine the current status of California public schools, and the relationship between these schools and the students, especially with regards to technology.

  6. Why SCOE Exists The mission of the Sacramento County Office Education, a customer-driven educational leader and agent for change in the county, region and state, is to support the preparation of students for a changing and global 21st century society, through a continuously improving system of partnerships and coordinated services for our diverse community.

  7. Student Population Students served in Court /Community Schools are incarcerated youth, expulsions from districts or referrals from probation officers. Traditionally these youth are behind in academic skills, and deficient in credits.

  8. Many of our students come to us having missed several months to years of schooling. • Homeless • Truancy • Incarceration • Vagrancy

  9. Enrollment in Court/Community Schools can be from days to one year. Sporadic attendance continues to be a problem in one Court School and in most Community Schools.

  14. Equity Issues • Students are often grouped by age, not by ability or grade level. • Access to technology continues to be an issue, although significant progress is being made. • This population of students often feels disenfranchised and therefore puts in little effort.
