The Social Foundations Reader is meant for undergraduate and
graduate students in introductory foundations of education classes.
No other contemporary reader provides such a broad and yet critical
view of the issues typically addressed in an introductory
foundations course. Instead, most provide a generic and typically
conservative perspective on schools and classrooms and do little to
encourage students to consider the important roles of critical
theory and social justice in the creation of school environments
that are responsive to issues of equity and diversity. This book
provides a different lens through which students can view what
happens in twenty-first-century schools while also considering the
perspectives of multiple constituencies: parents, teachers,
students and communities. The reader of this text is exposed to a
wide range of scholarship in the foundations of education; essays
range from the more traditional work of John Dewey to the
controversial ideas of Henry Giroux. Contested topics associated
with teaching, learning and leading in contemporary public schools
are considered within a context where grappling with the answers to
fundamental questions that will ultimately guide meaningful school
reform is an essential part of becoming an educator. Each of the
five sections in the book is accompanied by an introduction and
summary/reflection questions to both guide reading and challenge
students to think critically about how to synthesize and apply the
ideas being presented.
