Intro

 My name is Ellen and I am a sophomore at Bryn Mawr, undecided in my major but im learning towards Psychology at the moment (although this is bound to change). I have worked with the Belmont Mentoring Program at Bryn Mawr and before coming to Bryn Mawr I did a lot of work with a Head Start class at an elementary school near my house. Im interested in education for several reasons, but the main reason im interested in it is because I have always wondered why it is schools/school systems choose to teach the subjects that they do. I wonder why exactly are some subjects chosen over others and how these subjects have changed over time. I hope to learn more about the process of learning from this course because to me, it is something that is a very abstract concept that I dont begin to understand. I have always wondered how the theories of education play out in the actual learning process that students go through.
