This brief, interpretive history of American schooling focuses on the evolving relationship between education and social change. Like its predecessors, this new edition investigates the impact of social forces such as industrialization, urbanization, immigration and cultural conflict on the development of schools and other educational institutions. It also examines the various ways that schools have contributed to social change, particularly in enhancing the status and accomplishments of certain social groups and not others. Detailed accounts of the experiences of women and minority groups in American history consider how their lives have been affected by education. Changes in this new edition include the following: A more thorough treatment of key concepts such as globalization, human capital, social capital, and cultural capital. Enhanced attention to issues of diversity throughout. Greater thematic coherence as a result of dividing chapter 6 into two chapters, the first focusing on the postwar period and emphasizing the themes of equity and social justice and the second focusing on human capital in education, highlighting the standards movement, federal policy changes and neo-liberal reform. A revision of several focal point discussions for greater clarity and thematic releance. Update discussions of recent changes in educational politics, finance and policy, especially the troubles presently facing No Child Left Behind (NCLB).

This important book takes a fresh look at educational change - a concept which is in frequent use but rarely examined for the variety of meanings it conveys. It brings together the ideas of major educational change theorists from three continents, and invites the reader to explore the idea of educational change at a number of levels and from a variety of perspectives. There is much talk about the pace of social change in, and the growing complexity of, industrial societies. In this book a number of well-known international researchers attempt to analyse the meaning of contemporary social change for education. Particular emphasis is given to the implications for: * the personal and social development of students * schools as organizations * the school curriculum * the teaching profession * educational policy formation * education research

This practical book provides teachers and teacher educators with concrete strategies for doing community-based work. By reframing the act of teaching to include working for social change, the author pushes readers to see school and community revitalization as reciprocal, not separate, projects. Drawing on the strategies and tactics of community organizers and activists, Charest describes an approach to schooling that addresses the social and economic concerns that students and families in under-resourced communities confront in their daily lives. He uses a decolonial framework to examine how schools can de-center Whiteness and reimagine curriculum and teaching. He also shows teacher educators how they can better prepare the next generation of civic-minded teachers to create a more just and democratic society. This model of intentional community engagement, when initiated by teachers and school leadership, is designed to re-position schools to take up questions of equity, racism, and the long-term health and well-being of individuals and communities. “Charest urges us to imagine a path to teaching and learning that is inseparable from democracy . . . Let’s join the movement.” —From the Foreword by Kevin K. Kumashiro, former dean, School of Education, University of San Francisco “I am overjoyed that Brian Charest is brave enough to take a stance on justice-centered teaching as a relational and political act rooted in the principles of organizing.” —David O. Stovall, University of Illinois at Chicago “This book takes up the central problem of our country’s failed education system: how to move schooling away from structures that isolate, stigmatize, and disempower students and communities towards structures that prioritize democracy, relationships, and organizing for power.” —Jay Gillen, teacher and organizer

In the twenty-first century, educators around the world are being told that they need to transform education systems to adapt young people for the challenges of a global digital knowledge economy. Too rarely, however, do we ask whether this future vision is robust, achievable or even desirable, whether alternative futures might be in development, and what other possible futures might demand of education. Drawing on ten years of research into educational innovation and socio-technical change, working with educators, researchers, digital industries, students and policy-makers, this book questions taken-for-granted assumptions about the future of education. Arguing that we have been working with too narrow a vision of the future, Keri Facer makes a case for recognizing the challenges that the next two decades may bring, including: the emergence of new relationships between humans and technology the opportunities and challenges of aging populations the development of new forms of knowledge and democracy the challenges of climate warming and environmental disruption the potential for radical economic and social inequalities. This book describes the potential for these developments to impact critical aspects of education – including adult-child relationships, social justice, curriculum design, community relationships and learning ecologies. Packed with examples from around the world and utilising vital research undertaken by the author while Research Director at the UK’s Futurelab, the book helps to bring into focus the risks and opportunities for schools, students and societies over the coming two decades. It makes a powerful case for rethinking the relationship between education and social and technological change, and presents a set of key strategies for creating schools better able to meet the emerging needs of their students and communities. An important contribution to the debates surrounding educational futures, this book is compelling reading for all of those, including educators, researchers, policy-makers and students, who are asking the question 'how can education help us to build desirable futures for everyone in the context of social and technological change?'

Today education is a key factor for further development of most of the countries in South Asia, which after decades of independence are still lacking in literacy. The book focuses on the relationship between the state and society of South Asian countries, especially in the field of primary education. After dealing with developments under colonial rule, the major part of the contributions is devoted to the educational policy in South Asian countries post-independence. The papers reveal the relevance and crucial role of culture, religion, and ethnicity for imparting basic education on a nation-wide scale. Taking into consideration the complexity of societies of South Asian countries, the book looks at the social and political implications arising out of the educational policy of the state for the process of nation building. The book is a specific contribution from a South Asian context to the ongoing debate about the relevance of language, culture, and religion in the educational policy of a majority population and its impact on minority communities.

The bourgeoning scholarship on community organizing for educational change suggest positives outcomes when it comes to countering failed school reforms. Early reports on community organizing across the United States have shown an exponential grow since the 1990s and by 2010 there were 500 of 800 community organizing groups were working in the area of school reform. Nevertheless, not all organizing efforts are the same as they are contingent to context, organizational characteristics, phase of organizing, levels of work (i.e. neighborhood, school district, and state). The purpose of this dissertation was to bring front and center the stories of the community leadership from Grupo de las Ocho Comunidades del Cano Martin Pena (G-8, Inc) around their experiences during an educational project that started as a collaborative agreement with the centralized Department of Education of Puerto Rico. Through the interviews and document analysis I present how the G-8's leadership turned to their apoderamiento comunitario and sentido de pertenencia to implement a curriculum in an elementary school focus on social transformation designed with the participation of residents and community leadership. Following a decolonial stance, I underlined the instances where the community engaged in what I saw as a decolonial act or when there was a manifestation of the logics of coloniality during the emergent collaboration.For G-8's leadership it was important to organized in order to challenge the historical government neglect towards el Cano that was used as a subterfuge to forced them out of their communities. This historical abandonment towards el Cano was also seen in the pobre educacion young people were receiving. Thus, transformar la educacion and community-school relationship was also part of their comprehensive plan to transform el Cano. To accomplished this goal, G-8 establish an agreement of collaboration to implement a curriculum in leadership and social transformation build upon the political education of their community organizing work. Thus, the main question in this dissertation is: How has the G8-DEPR collaboration emerged and evolved in the context of the development and implementation of an innovative educational project?The collaborative agreement evolved in a contentious relationship in which the central and the local school leadership joined forces to impeded the full implementation of the curriculum. The educational project for La Escuela de Liderazgo y Transformacion Social del Cano Martin Pena geared towards reconfiguring the community's place inherent in state sanctioned schooling by centering la comunidad and their lucha comunitaria in regards school-community relations. For DEPR leadership the new educational project was both a signal to communities to work together with the centralized system and also a political project that did not align with the ideological and colonial form of state-sanctioned schooling.Thus, the tensions around the curriculum content and its implementation between the colonial DEPR and the G-8's leadership denotes how forms of community-school collaboration that are institutionalized hinder the transformative work of CBOs. Moreover, the politics of coloniality deemed community knowledge as no important to contribute in bringing educational change will make the collaboration not viable. This was the case of the G8-DEPR's collaboration. The community leadership took the hard decision to retire from the collaboration and find other ways to have their educational project for La Escuela de Liderazgo y Transformacion Social del Cano Martin Pena.
