Education as a major social movement is coming to an end. The End
of School Reform derives its theoretical framework from the ideas
of Hegel, who perceived an end to history, and Thomas Kuhn, who
theorized that history does not follow a linear path but that the
scientific landscape changes through large-scale movements called
'paradigm shifts'. This book examines the partial successes of
history's three major educational reform movements (the Progressive
Education movement at the beginning of the 20th century, the Equity
Reform movement of the 1960's-1970's, and the Excellence Reform
movement from 1983 to the present) and contends that such major
movements in education will never be seen again. Blending Arthur
Danto's 'end of art', John Horgan's 'end of science', and Francis
Fukuyama's 'end of history' theses_all of which argue that only
minor reforms will occur in the future_and drawing on interviews of
education historians and policy professors, the 'end of school
reform' thesis maintains that educational innovation may still
continue, but only on a piecemeal basis.
