ISBN: 9780195071351 / Angielski / Miękka / 336 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) Ever since the massive immigration from Europe of the late 19th century, American society has accommodated people of many cultures, religions, languages, and expectations. The task of integration has increasingly fallen to the schools, where children are taught a common language and a set of democratic values and sent on their ways to become productive members of society. How American schools have set about educating these diverse students, and how these students' needs have altered the face of education, are issues central to the social history of the United States in the 20th century.

Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) International education in the United States is at a significant crossroads.

Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) As educators and legislators across the country debate how to improve public schools, the most vital factor often disappears from the equation--the relationship between the teacher and the student.

Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) By any measure of test scores and graduation rates, public schools are failing to educate a large percentage of Chicana/o youth.

Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) This important book takes the discussion of racial inequality in America beyond simplistic arguments of white racism and black victimization to a more complex conversation about the separate but unequal situation in many schools today.

Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) One of the most hotly debated issues in contemporary education concerns the tension between the demands of such groups as blacks, Latinos, gays, women, and the handicapped for a curriculum that recognizes their particular identity--and the competing position that the role of public education is to infuse children with a common American identity. In this book, a distinguished philosopher of education takes on that debate, indicating the underlying ethical issues on each side and showing how schools can promote both national and cultural identities.

Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) As the end of the century draws closer, one of the most pressing challenges facing educators in the United States is the specter of an 'ethnic and cultural war' - a code phrase that engenders our society's licentiousness toward racism. In Dancing With Bigotry, Macedo and Bartolome use examples from the mass media, popular culture, and politics to illustrate the larger situations facing educators and how this type of argument is both ignored in much of the academic research and rhetoric. They also examine why it is essential to take on the sources of 'mass public education.' Academia needs to...

Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) Since 1970 increasing percentages of Black students have enrolled in all types of private schools in diverse, though predominantly urban, regions of the nation. Since more than 90 percent of all Black students receive instruction in public schools, it is perhaps not surprising that researchers have paid scant attention to the educational status of the minority who have attended independently funded schools.
