Great Teachers Guide
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
The book is a continuous source of information for any teacher, or adult that just wants to get a start on the education system. Unfortunately, the real classrooms are not even close, as projected in the textbook. Where did our education in the schools go?

Excellent for Preprofessional Instructors
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
FOUNDATIONS OF AMERICAN EDUCATION provides an excellent basis for preprofessional instructors (students who are going to become teachers). The history and philosophy sections are not too involved with jargon to be useful to undergraduates. On the other hand, for those who have been away from teaching for a few years, for parents who want to find out what's going on, and for students who haven't previously examined education as history, this is a good start. The insets and anecdotes that are set apart from the main body of the text by boxes and underlining are somewhat confusing, but they also contain ideas that should be explored. The prose ranges from stilted to nicely-flowing.
