Foundations of American Education asks many of the questions new teachers face: How should I handle classroom management? How will I know if students are learning what they should? What should I do in class my first year? How can I make things better for students? This book addresses major topics covered by introductory-level education classes, such as the history of US public schools, curriculum and assessment, classroom management, school governance, law, and more. Each chapter includes stories and examples from real teachers and schools and closes with a major US court case about public education. A major goal for the volume is to develop a sense for what US public school teachers do now and how we might be able to do better in the years ahead.
Industry Reviews
""A well written text that draws on a multitude of diverse sources and perspectives. It challenges the status quo by decentering whitewashed perspectives and highlighting the significance of education among marginalized groups. Additionally, the text includes practical tips and advice for a sensible approach to working with children and families."" - Toya Ma±³n, EdD, Monroe Community College



""The scholarship is accessible, relevant, and meaningful for an undergraduate student entering the teaching profession. This did not read like a textbook. It felt more like a story or personal reflection into teaching."" - Crystal Simmons, PhD, School of Education, SUNY Geneseo
