Philosophy for Children Professor David Shapiro, Department of Philosophy. Students will be introduced to the methods and practices of doing philosophy with young people, eventually enabling them to facilitate Philosophy for Children sessions in local elementary, middle, and secondary schools. Philosophy for Children is an instructional theory and methodology for brining philosophy into the lives of pre-college students. Students in this class will have the opportunity to participate in a Winter Quarter practicum in which they will be placed in local area schools to do Philosophy for Children on a weekly basis with a class of elementary, middle, or high school students. Undergraduate students only.
