Educational Reform, the Forgotten Half
Author: William Burt Lauderdale
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 40
Book Description
By examining the trends in equity and academic excellence, this monograph interprets America's history of educational reform. The first section, "The Legacy of Reform," analyzes themes after colonial times. William Penn and Benjamin Franklin advocated humanitarian, middle-class education following the American Revolution. By the late 18th and early 19th centuries, the nation sensed an urgency about schooling. Thomas Jefferson advanced opportunities by state-financed schools. The competing social forces of frontier and industrial expansion developed the common school movement; Horace Mann increased support for public education. The dialectic between classical European excellence and equity, however, did not produce equality of opportunity. Progressive education, the 20th century's major ideology, broadened schooling's role through individual student focus and open, democratic classrooms promoted by John Dewey. "Contemporary Reform Issues," section 2, concludes that equity and academic excellence often coexist as traditional dichotomies, but can attain resolution. Desegregation demonstrates commitment to comprehensive equity. Expanded opportunities require time; reforms should not ignore schools' increased responsibilities. If "A Nation at Risk" became the national agenda, disadvantaged students would be left in the wake. Rather than through national mandate, the alternative is a pluralistic approach wherein local experiments encourage excellence. The quality of educational change is ultimately measured by the principle of just treatment for all. (CJH)

The Convergence of K-12 and Higher Education
Author: Christopher P. Loss
Publisher: Harvard Education Press
ISBN: 1612509843
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 353
Book Description
In The Convergence of K–12 and Higher Education, two leading scholars of education policy bring together a distinguished and varied array of contributors to systematically examine the growing convergence between the K–12 and higher education sectors in the United States. Though the two sectors have traditionally been treated as distinct and separate, the editors show that the past decade has seen an increasing emphasis on the alignment between the two. At the same time, the national focus on outcomes and accountability, originating in the K–12 sector, is exerting growing pressure on higher education, while trends toward privatization and diversification—long characteristic of the postsecondary sector—are influencing public schools. This volume makes the powerful case that it is no longer possible to think of one sector in the absence of the other, given the economic, demographic, and technological forces that are pushing the educational system toward convergence. Taken together, the chapters in this book provide a promising new line of inquiry for examining contemporary questions in education policy.
