For courses in the Historical and Philosophical Foundations of Education.

This foundations text offers both concepts and key writings from the major educational innovators throughout history, beginning with the ancient civilizations and proceeding to the current 21^st century. The text is organized chronologically and takes a biographical approach, giving readers a wealth of primary source material by philosophers, classical to postmodern, whose ideas have helped shape educational practice. Each chapter has a brief biography of the educator’s life, a summary of the key contributions of the educator, introductory “questions to guide your reading”, and follow-up discussion questions.

Inclusion of primary source materials created by prominent Western and American educators-Allows for textual treatments of the history and philosophy of education and promotes higher-level thinking while applying reading to current educational situations.
Thematic and chronological progression-Allows students to develop critical thinking skills and skills of analysis, synthesis, and evaluation.
Selection of educators representing various cultures, races, genders, and time periods-A unique contribution to the field of feminism and diversity studies.
Inclusion of pictures, timelines, maps, and internet sites for each educator-Visually allows students to place the educator in their milieu, understanding the historical context in which they lived while also giving them resources for further study using technology.
