| Summary |
"As the title of the 99th Yearbook, Part II, declares, this volume, edited by Thomas L. Good, reviews the evolution of educational beliefs, curriculum content, and teaching practices in American elementary schools over the full span of the twentieth century. The opening chapter presents an overview of the changing society and culture of this eventful century and records linkages between these changes and issues in education that marked the development of public schooling. The authors note that three issues appear relatively constant: debates over school control, questions of equity, and the growth of teaching as a profession."--Jacket |
