Department of Education
The Department of Education is the main federal role in education. It made the cut in my project because it "promotes student achievement and prepares for global competitiveness by fostering educational excellence and insuring equal access." -
State Laws for Providing Funds for Transportation
This was a big role in the history of education. Students struggled getting to school. We can have all the schools in the world, but if students can't safely get there, whats the point? This made school more accessible for students who lived farther away from the school. -
Mendez vs. Westminster and the California Board of Education
This is crucial because it pretty much overturned a law that said that segregation was ok. This led up to Brown Vs. Board of education. This played a major roll in our education system when it came to making things more equal. -
Brown vs. Board of Education
Arguably one of the most recognizable court cases involving the history of education and civil rights. This made the cut because we now can offer education to all people equally. Well, we were supposed to. It was a work in progress. But it paved the way for bigger and better things to come after it. -
Smart board introduced
This is huge now. Modern technology is the school systems is definitely big right now. Many schools have moved to iPads, chrome books, you name it. The smart board was one of the first technology devices in the schools. An interactive white board. Technology is changing the future of education and how we educate students.
