Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is a study of standards and standardization in American education, primarily through the lens of the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching. The Carnegie Foundation was founded in 1905 to improve the quality of education in the United States, and, in this book, the author uses the Foundation's work as a springboard into a broader discussion on the topic of standards, educational quality, and educational institutions. The book is divided into two parts. The first part provides a historical overview of the Carnegie Foundation's work, focusing on its efforts to standardize American education. This section discusses the Foundation's role in the development of college entrance requirements, its efforts to improve medical education, and its work in other areas such as teacher training and curriculum development. The second part of the book examines the broader issue of standards and standardization in American education. This section discusses the different ways in which standards are used in education, the benefits and drawbacks of standardization, and the challenges facing educators in maintaining high standards in a rapidly changing world. This book provides a comprehensive overview of the Carnegie's Foundation and its work, and offers a valuable contribution to the ongoing discussion on standards and standardization in American education.
