Product Description
Product Description
For Introduction to Foundations of Education courses, and Introduction to Teaching courses.
A departure from other foundations of education texts, this rich anthology uses a number of excerpts from literature, plays, poetry, and paintings to which readers can link educational theories and their own experiences. It provides superb coverage of history, sociology, politics and philosophy of education, as well as the nature of school environments and the teaching profession. Not only will students benefit from the content of the excerpts, but they will also be learning about the value of using literature, art, and primary sources in their own teaching.

Only problem is the price
14 Aug 2000
Format:Paperback
I ordered this text for college students who want to become teachers, but it would be equally applicable to my freshman "English class" students. The cross-cultural and multi-generational excerpts provide the opportunity to sample sociological, historical, philosophical, and psychological writings. Economics is included. Frederick Douglass and Claude Brown provide input from the African-American community. Bell Kaufman and Sylvia Ashton-Warner explore their experiences with students from backgrounds unlike their own. Tom Lehrer and Russell Baker provide insight from a lighter, humorous standpoint. I am looking forward to using this book.
