Education in the Colonial Period
For the most part, schools were not free and were organized by a group of people in the town.
Most of the teachings were closely linked with Protestant religion. but it was the first step into formal education.
These were not the only school, but school was for only the rich essentially. -
The Impact of Jefferson, Rush, & Webster
Webster: published essentially the first American textbook "American speller".
Jefferson: Felt the survival of democracy depending on the education of the people. Felt that education should be available to all people, not based on your family status.
Rush: Believed that all even women should have the opportunity at advance education. -
common school movement starts
Horace Mann first secretary of the board of education for any states.
Believed that education was the equalizer of kids. Tried to standardize all aspects of education.
As depicted in my image I believe that this was the first step that started to move education in the right direction. He helped to open the path to streamline teaching/better facility for students to learn in.

population growth
Female teachers were increased especially in the west was needed. the schools out west were very rough for the most part. Morality tells taught in stories in the books to teach the students to read. Increase, subjects taught. -
John Dewey
Attached and the current educational practice and was known as the father of progressive education. He taught that the teacher and the textbook had to much power and not in the whole students. -
progressive movement in education started
This was a movement on application more than concepts. hands-on projects, critical thinking, and problem-solving. Education and responsibility such as problem solving and governance. P.E, field trips were introduced here.
As shown in my picture I feel that implementing different aspects of learning like PE in your teaching opens the brain for better learning.

Secondary School Movement
The rate of enrollment was so high because high schools were being built so fast because they were gaining skills for real life. by the end of 1950, the graduation rate was nearly 70% more than 1910. -
Brown vs Board
Finally, desegregation was abolished. At first many of the south schools didn't push the desegregation until the government passed the at that help out funding if the states did not enforce this.
This has affected many of my close friends. Think of all the people who have helped without country that may not have if this was still going on.

Sputnik and NDEA,
The government wears falling behind with the Soviets and so they began to push more science and technology subject to the students. -
Elementary & Secondary Education Act
nationally funding primary and secondary schooling to help all students have equal access to education. These funds are to authorize professional development, and other teaching aids. -
IDEA
This act gave the right to free education and appropriate education to the students affected with disabilities. -
The Standards Movement
This is where the standards came about of what knowledge was needed to for a student to graduate. this would measure the students to a fixed standard. This would lead to more and more standardized testing.
As shown in my picture I feel that we needed to make sure that students learned similar skills to graduate and this movement was raining the educational systems in together. -
School Choice Movement
The concept that you couldn't pick what school to go to and had to go to your neighboorhood school was hard for many people, especially in poor areas. This movement made charter/magnet school. Many poor neighborhoods that were art base and such really changed the graduation in those areas.
Many students learn very different ways and being able to teach in a more personal way for them can make all the difference.

No child left behind
States had to develop the level of basic skills, and all students at all level would be tested the same. If the goal/expectations were reached the schools would receive funding. But it standard how we test our students.
