How Civil Service reform reshaped who teaches in America’s public schools
A clear, historical look at how merit, exams, and tenure reshaped teacher appointments across rural districts, cities, and federal programs. This book traces reforms from Maryland and Massachusetts through major city systems, showing how competitive exams and permanent tenure began to replace influence and annual elections.
What you’ll learn includes how different jurisdictions implemented merit tests, how permanency of position was guarded, and how salaries and promotions evolved as reforms took hold. It also compares early state efforts with city rules in places like Baltimore and Boston, and considers the spread of these ideas to national programs.Les informations fournies dans la section « Synopsis » peuvent faire référence à une autre édition de ce titre.
