- Synopsis
- This book presents opposing or sharply varying viewpoints on educational issues of current concerns. Unit 1 offers consideration of three basic theoretical issues that have been discussed by scholars and practitioners in past decades and are still debated today: curriculum content and its imposition upon the young, the philosophical underpinning of the process of education, and the purpose of public education. Unit 2 features five issues that are fundamental to understanding the present circumstances that shape American education: democratic classrooms for citizenship preparation, student First Amendment rights, common curriculum considerations, policy and the Common Core standards, and the challenges of poor school performance. Unit 3 examines more specific issues currently being discussed: arming teachers, universal preschool, teacher preparation and the federal government, zero tolerance and the courts, no-zero grading, virtual schools, twenty-first century skills movement, flipped learning, class size and student achievement, school funding and student achievement, charter school expansion, and the impact of technology on teaching and learning.
