Change/Education: Issues in Perspective

by Tom Barone (Editor), Diann L. Musial (Editor)

This text for educational students and preservice teachers examines how changes in the larger society pressure schools to change their own structures and practices, and explores the degree to which schools change society. Early chapters explore the ways in which race, ethnicity, social class, and gender relate to educational inequality and examine multicultural education as a movement. Later chapters describe school reform proposals, with material on tracking, charter schools, vouchers, bilingual education, standards, and school violence. There is no subject index. Barone teaches educational psychology at Northern Illinois University. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
