Description

On the continuum of topics covered in these texts, from the "micro" (what it's like to be a teacher in a classroom) to the "macro" (greater emphasis on the philosophy, history, and governance of education), this text falls in the "macro" range. Beginning in the classroom with what prospective teachers can expect in their future careers, the text offers a comprehensive look at the foundations of education to introduce students to the core historic purposes of public schools and the ongoing challenges schools have faced fulfilling those purposes. Throughout the book, special features encourage students to think critically about all sides of controversial issues and challenge them to focus on three key questions: what should we teach, how should we teach, and why should we teach.
