Foundations of Education
Educational Foundations answers these questions, and more, providing an exciting alternative to other foundations textbooks. This anthology is aimed at students about to enter the teaching profession, those new to the profession and anyone interested in carefully examining and improving schools and schooling.
In this Third Edition, the editors add new essays by classic and contemporary policy shapers and teachers. The readings are bold and refreshing, and their authors eschew unquestioning compliance. By taking a hard look at traditional educational practice, the contributors to this anthology serve as models for the kind of reflective practitioners that its editors hope that students will become while in the field.
I used this for both my IUL 101 and my research classes as this text allowed my students to critically think about various issues in education.
Outstanding readings for aspiring teachers and compliments the textbook. We are using the readings for student presentations in class.
