Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book sprawls through over a century to investigate the history and significance of education in Chicago, especially the training of the city's teachers. The author traces specifically the development of teacher education in Chicago through the Chicago Normal School, which from 1867 to 1969 embodied both the problems and achievements of public education in the city. The history of the Chicago Normal School is, in many ways, a chronicle of the genesis of progressive education in the United States and provides a detailed macrocosm of the revolutionary changes in the way Americans were educated during the 19th and early 20th centuries. By exploring the political, economic, social and cultural factors that have influenced the development of teacher training in Chicago, this book helps us understand not only the history of American education but also the relationship between education and the life of a modern metropolis.
