Description
Arthur Zilversmit examines the impact of progressive education ideas in American schools from the 1930s to the post-World War II period. Focusing on classroom practices in several Chicago area school systems, he explores how these ideas influenced school practices and what conditions facilitated or hindered their implementation.
The book looks at a pivotal moment in educational reform, when economic depression made change difficult but new affluence brought about rapid expansion of schools. Zilversmit's goal is to illuminate the relationship between education ideas and practice, shedding light on how progressive education shaped school practices and what this can teach us about successful reform.
