American Education: A History with the McGraw-Hill Foundations of Education Timeline Book

"American Education: A History" presents the history of American education from precolonial times to the present in a comprehensive, engaging manner. Balanced and well written, the text provides an objective overview of historical events alongside thoughtful analysis and integration as it presents each major period in the development of American education against the broader backdrop of national and world events. Each chapter is tightly linked to the preceding and succeeding chapters so that the story of American education unfolds in a seamless manner. This is the first text to explore Native American traditions (including education) prior to Colonization. It also offers very strong, ongoing coverage of minorities and women; exceptional coverage of education in the nineteenth century in the southern states; and a noteworthy three-chapter cluster (chapters 6, 7, and 8) describing the making of the modern school system before, during, and after the Progressive Era. This edition includes the addition of political cartoons, annotated suggestions for further reading, more comprehensive coverage of John Dewey, and a thoroughly reorganized and updated recent history of education (Chapter 12).Read More
