Description

Shor interprets school politics after 1969 as an attempt to use the curriculum to intervene in global crises. In his analysis of official efforts to adjust curricula to conform to dominant political needs, Shor calls attention to three principal phases of school reform. The first, from 1971-5, focused on vocational issues and stressed career education, and the second, from 1975-82, was related to language competence. The third revolves around the strong demand of authorities for more discipline and greater attention to training--a pursuit of excellence. ISBN 0-7102-0637-2: $24.95.
