Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book scrutinizes the policies and practices of the New York City and Portland, Oregon public school systems at the turn of the 20th Century. The author argues that progressive changes to school administrative practices and the adoption of new pedagogical methods during this time resulted in significant increases in equal opportunities for students. These systems created new standards for the training of teachers, established more flexible and innovative curricula, and oversaw the implementation of new student-centric teaching models. By establishing requirements for teacher certification, introducing specialized training programs for teachers, and advocating for a teaching-as-a-profession stance, this book details the origins of many of the critical teaching and learning practices we still follow today. With fascinating case studies and untold stories, this book showcases the very real challenges of implementing progressive ideals within the public school systems of two metropolitan areas, while demonstrating the positive impact of bold educational reform.
