Description

For Introduction to Foundations of Education courses, and Introduction to Teaching courses.

A departure from other foundations of education texts, this rich anthology uses a number of excerpts from literature, plays, poetry, and paintings to which readers can link educational theories and their own experiences. It provides superb coverage of history, sociology, politics and philosophy of education, as well as the nature of school environments and the teaching profession. Not only will students benefit from the content of the excerpts, but they will also be learning about the value of using literature, art, and primary sources in their own teaching.
