About this book

Schoolhouse Politics: Lessons from the Sputnik Era by Dow, Peter B.. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780674792401.

The Sputnik -inspired educational reform movement of the 1960s exemplified here by description of an innovative social science research course for elementary school children focused on cultivating the intellect; it was a departure from traditional American education and was essentially driven from the schools by the mid 1970s. This study brings home that reformers of today can ill-afford to be naive about past controversies and the dilemmas and politics of educational reform. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc.
