Case Discussion Case method teaching and interactive discussion are used widely at GSE and can be challenging for students who are unfamiliar with this approach. In classes where the case method is employed, students are expected to ask and answer questions and actively discuss issues raised in cases written about complex, real life issues faced in the arena of educational policy. In this class, instructor-led case discussions will help you refine the strategies and skills needed in interactive classes. This workshop provides students with skills and networking information that are an essential part of a job search upon graduation. You will learn how to best utilize your experience at HGSE to facilitate your professional development.
