我们的课程强调了一些反复出现的主题，这些主题表明了我们对学生的承诺和期望.

1. Social Justice: In every course in our curriculum, students will encounter themes of social justice; each played in a different register. We emphasize social justice with respect to culture, race and ethnicity, class, gender, sexuality, disabilities, indigenousness, youth and family, environment, and of course, in its manifestations in our social institutions, schools in particular.

   我们的方法是关键的和互补的，跨越许多学科. 学生们将学会不要急于接受任何一种理论或信仰, but come to understand the complexity of the questions, and accept their own moral responsibility to understand, and to take a position, and to be willing to change positions.

2. Knowledge and Ways of Knowing: In every course in our curriculum, we stress the importance of engaging with, and understanding, 探究的模式，告知我们的知识和我们的认识方式.

   我们的目标是让学生们认识到通往知识和专业技能的道路有很多, each with their own philosophical strengths and weaknesses, and that each must be evaluated, in context, on a variety of grounds. 这意味着放弃“自然”倾向，以特定的方式学习, 并要求学生和教职员工愿意承担风险，真诚地生活.

3. Inclusive Pedagogy在我们教授的每一门课程中，我们的教师都以明确的方式示范和促进包容性教学法.

   我们的教室被刻意打造为学习社区，让学生发声, agency, and mutuality are primary. 因为我们的大多数学生将来会成为老师, 或者其他与儿童和青少年互动的专业人士, 我们的一个基本目标是让我们的学生学习如何创造同样的包容性, respectful, and educationally responsible spaces.

4. Broad Interaction and Networking: In every course in our curriculum, students are brought into contact with people, places, and ideas from outside their normal orbits.

   这意味着我们课程的一个基本目标和目的是向我们的学生灌输需要谨慎地进入这些关系，并在任何时候都遵守道德规范和自我反思. 这种人际关系的维度同样在我们所有的课堂中都很突出, 哪些特征是特定于站点和内容的持续对话类型.

5. Awareness and Reflection: In every course in our curriculum, faculty stress the importance of understanding the historical, philosophical, social, global/international, 以及他们目前在教育和青年研究中所面临问题的心理背景, whether in the classroom or in the field.

   学生将来成为教师和青年工作者，在更好地了解他们在做什么和为什么之后，将培养良好的职业责任感.
