Education · 5 units · Undergraduate upper division (100-199)
(Formerly numbered 139.) Examination of K-12 student experience in California schools. Comparison of geographic disparity in shared experiences, and prevalence of special and difficulty circumstances that have implications for learning and learning outcomes. Key areas identified include race and ethnic diversity in schools; geographic and residential mobility (including homelessness and temporary/transitional housing placement conditions); migration-schooling nexus (migrant education); and food insecurity conditions in student population. Data-driven, school-level analysis relying on statistics from California Department of Education and Los Angeles Unified School District. Data from other states offers points of comparison with respect to student demographic and geospatial experience across categories explored. Examination of potential impact of differential burden of inequality and disparity in resource opportunity on student learning and learning outcomes.
