Description: The authors summarize the perspectives of nine prominent educational critics who collectively represent a broad spectrum of educational thought in 20th-century America:
  • John Dewey
  • Robert Hutchins
  • Arthur Bestor
  • James Conant
  • Theodore Brameld
  • Charles Silberman
  • Ivan Illich
  • Albert Shanker
  • Chester Finn
    Each critic tackles, in a distinctive and provocative way, some of the perennial questions that should be considered in any effort to reform schools and teacher education. In Part II the authors analyze the present-day status of teacher education and suggest how it might be improved. In Part III the authors speculate on what the future holds and how that will impact teacher education. The book concludes with an epilogue directed especially toward policymakers.
