Description and Table of Contents
Description
For freshman/senior-level courses in Educational Foundations, Philosophy of Education, Multicultural Education, and Women's Studies.
This text shows students how philosophy of education relates to and influences classroom practice. The text presents the authors' own philosophy of education and places it in the context of a broad range of other classic and contemporary perspectives. Within each chapter the theory is related to schools and classrooms as they really exist including issues and problems that teachers, parents, students, and administrators face daily. The text is easily accessible in approach, cutting-edge in its multicultural and feminist focus, and rich in its development of philosophical issues.
