About this audiobook
Featuring current information and challenging perspectives on the latest issues and forces shaping the American educational system—with scholarship that is often cited as a primary source—the author introduces listeners to the historical, political, social and legal foundations of education and to the profession of teaching in the United States.
In his signature straightforward, concise approach to describing complex issues, he illuminates events and topics that are often overlooked or whitewashed, giving students the opportunity to engage in critical thinking about education.
Students come away informed on the latest topics, issues and data and with a strong knowledge of the forces shaping the American educational system.
Thoroughly updated throughout, the new edition of this clear, authoritative text remains fresh and up to date, reflecting the many changes in education that have occurred since the publication of the previous edition.
