520 _aFor upper-undergraduate and graduate courses in the Philosophical and/or Social Foundations of Education. This scholarly new text is based on the belief that a solid grounding in the philosophical and social foundations of American education will better equip prospective teachers for the diverse climate of contemporary education. It links a rich compendium of primary source readings to thorough coverage of concepts in a chronologically arranged presentation that takes readers from the educational views of the ancients to those of today's postmodernists. Detailed, engaging case stories and numerous opportunities for reflection leave students with an understanding of both educational philosophy and the application of that philosophy in the K-12 classroom.
