The Tragedy of American School Reform : How Curriculum Politics and Entrenched Dilemmas Have Diverted Us from Democracy PDF
by Ronald W. Evans
- Information
Description
Two persistent dilemmas haunt school reform: curriculum politics and classroom constancy.
Both undermined the 1960s' new social studies, a dynamic reform movement centered on inquiry, issues, and social activism.
Dramatic academic freedom controversies ended reform and led to a conservative restoration.
On one side were teachers and curriculum developers; on the other, conservative activists determined to undo the revolutions of the 1960s.
The episode brought a return to traditional history, a turn away from questioning, and the re-imposition of authority.
Engagingly written and thoroughly researched, The Tragedy of American School Reform offers a provocative perspective on current trends.
