Sources!
Here are my sources and a brief description on each:
Websites: There are two websites listed in my last entry. The first provides a directory of one-room schoolhouses throughout the east coast, and can be a handy tool for researching how shool used to be. The second website is a aid for teaching children in a one-room schoolhouse environment. I thought this website was interesting because it is modern,and based on federal code.
Books:
Schools of the Future - this book was published in 1985; it lists some of the chapters as funding and school/business partnerships of today and tommorrow. To compare how our schools of today were viewed in the past would add an additional perspective to this work.
The Problems of American Education - This is another semi-dated book, it was published in 1975. What were the problems in this decade, are they relevant to the problems we are facing today? I thought that Adolescent Meets the Bureacracy as well as The Crisis of Purpose and Identity in Higher Education
Politics, Markets, and America's School: This book was published in 1990, and would be relevant to our discussions of the economy and its influence in the education.
Social History of American Education (Vol.I&II) These books are research books. I want to learn about the facts of American Education. On a side note, one of the practices of my history class was evaluating our sources and their validity. It would be interesting to note when the book was published and how the atmosphere of its time could affect the relaying of information.
Shouting Won't Grow Dendrites 20 Techniques ofr Managing a Brain-Compatible Classroom: This book is an aid for teachers today. What is the media telling our educators? This book would be interesting to browse through and note the common philosophies of today.
