Educational Foundations: An Anthology of Critical Readings - Softcover

“The authors have assembled a wonderful collection of classic and new essays by some of the masters in the field. You will experience the exhilarating highs and crushing lows that teaching offers. If you can’t get engaged by these essays, check your pulse to make sure you still have one.”

In this Second Edition, editors Alan S. Canestrari and Bruce A. Marlowe add new essays by classic and contemporary policy shapers and teachers. The readings are bold and refreshing, and their authors eschew unquestioning compliance. By taking a hard look at traditional educational practice, the contributors to this anthology serve as models for the kind of reflective practitioners that its editors hope that students will become while in the field.

Key Features:

- Encourages discussion and debate through provocative essays that provide readers with opportunities to think critically about teaching and learning
