Like earlier editions  the well-researched Third Edition employs a topical approach to examine the evolution of key institutions like the common school and the high school  as well as significant movements like progressive education  racial desegregation  and multiculturalism. Primary source readings enhance and reinforce chapter content and feature new writings from Benjamin Rush  Horace Mann  Maria Montessori  W. E. B. Du Bois  John Dewey  and Jane Addams. Two new chapters add depth to this comprehensive  richly illustrated work. \"Immigration  Multiculturalism  and Education\" examines the response of public schools to the education of immigrant children in the context of Americas industrialization and urbanization. This compelling addition also looks at the changing demographics of immigration and discusses the experiences and contributions of Hispanic Americans and Asian Americans. \"Progressive Education and John Dewey\" explores the origins of progressive education  the philosophies of John Dewey and other leading progressive educators  and this movements ongoing influence in American classrooms. The Third Editions topical organization lends itself to multiple uses in the classroom. Each chapter provides the historical foundation for the study of a contemporary topic in education  including the organization and structure of schools  the philosophy of education  early childhood education  curriculum and instruction  multicultural and bilingual education  and educational policy.
