EDUC Course Information
Welcome to CELE Center's EDUC seminar offerings! EDUC courses include EDUC 260 and EDUC 401 seminars.
All of these courses provide UW students with the opportunity to engage with local K-12 students in schools. In the classroom, students enrolled in CELE EDUC courses will learn about issues pertaining to educational equity and the U.S. Public Education system. The service-learning/practicum component of the courses involve weekly visits to local partner schools to work directly with students either tutoring or mentoring (on post-secondary planning). Both components of the courses will allow students to engage in critical thinking and reflection on current issues in education.

- EDUC 401A students (mentors) can choose to register for 1-3 credits, beyond 3 credits requires course instructor approval.
- EDUC 401B students (tutors) can choose to register for 1-6 credits, but should plan to have available the appropriate amount of hours in their schedule to tutor based on the number of credits they have chosen to register for.
- EDUC 401 A&B meet bi-weekly, are graded Credit/No Credit, and offer I&S credits
