This graduate certificate provides students with skills and knowledge to act as agents of change in urban school districts, including large districts, such as Boston, Los Angeles and New York, and in smaller urban centers that share many social and economic characteristics of large urban districts and benefit from the similar approaches. The course work will provide background about the systemic social, cultural, racial, economic and political factors that influence urban areas as well as practical methods for working with diverse students enrolled in districts in those areas.
