A core text for the Social Foundations course, this book provides an analytic framework that shows how and why certain school-society issues first arose in this country and changed over time. It also contains readings at the end of each chapter, which the student critiques using the same analytic framework as the authors employ in the text. This edition will expand the treatment of educational minorities and women, and will further refine the section on the the professionalism of teaching. The third edition will also include contemporary issues such as school choice, charter schools and privitization. Other new coverage includes: the role of technology in the literacy chapter, current data on education and schools in the United States today, legal and extra-legal issues like school law, and extended case discussion of contemporary American Indian education.

Through the use of a consistent analytic framework, this text shows how and why certain school-society issues first arose in this country and how they have changed over time. Introduced and explained in detail in the first chapter, the text’s analytic framework focuses on the political economy, the dominant ideology, and existing educational practices that are prevalent in any given historical era. Readings at the end of each chapter are designed for the student to critique using the same analytic framework that the authors employ in the text. In its examination of the evolution of education in the United States, this book tells an engaging historical story.

Schools & Teaching

Part One of this text examines educational themes in the historical context in which they first appeared. Corresponding Part Two chapters return to these themes and examine them in their contemporary contexts. Throughout, the relationship between social conditions, prevailing ideologies and educational practice is stressed. Unlike most texts on foundations of education, this book integrates the concepts and perspectives from several disciplines into its analysis of the school/society relationship. Each chapter ends with an original source reading that students are asked to analyze using the same analytical, critical thinking concepts used throughout the text.
