Lesson 1: Introduction; A Look at the History of Education in the World and in Iran

In the first lesson of the course “Democratizing the Classroom” we look at the history of education in Iran and in the world, as well as where and under what conditions it began. 

This course, focused on non-traditional education for children up to 5th grade, helps teachers in Iran cultivate critical thinking, creative/free expression, and liberal values via important resources which Tavaana has produced, with special focus on children with disabilities. 

Saeed Peyvandi, a sociologist and university professor, teaches this course.
