They tease out those assumptions on the key issues of school goals, curriculum, education for citizenship, discipline, and school reform, inviting readers to think again, to question the taken-for-granted, in the hope of better aligning intentions and outcomes.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThis book is the perfect text for both undergraduate and graduate classrooms devoted to the study of public education. Questions at the end of each chapter point to ways for preservice and inservice teachers, as well as administrators and other education personnel, to advance their thinking about choices in their own contexts. In addition, suggested readings, websites and videos offer more food for thought.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePerfect for courses such as: \u003c\/b\u003eSocial Foundations of Education, Political and Social Foundations of Education, Foundations of American Education, Policy Issues in American\u003cbr\u003e Education, Political Issues in American Education, Educational Policy Studies, Foundations of Education, Foundations of Education Policy, Intro to Curriculum\u003cbr\u003e Issues\/Policy, American Education Policy and Reform, Introduction to American\u003cbr\u003e Education, Introduction to Education Theory and Policy, Contemporary Issues in\u003cbr\u003e American Education.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mallon Publishing Pty Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47034112311536,"sku":"9781975500016","price":42.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781975500016_p0.jpg?v=1763670644","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781975500016","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
