~American Colonial Period~
- Curriculum included mainly Puritanical perspectives and most early education was based on the ten commandments, reciting of the Lord's Prayer, and catechisms; teachers mostly included women from the community in the form of Dame SchoolsAmerican Revolutionary War~American Early National Period~
- Under the guise of the Revolutionary War, America started to distinguish its own freedoms from British rule and began to develop more of a sense of a moral compass. Central Government began to include public schools as a main priority, especially advancing westward. Many different textbooks like the Early American Speller and later Noah Webster's Speller were used as a standard text books in education~American Common School Period~
Due to their massive advancement westward, public schools are instated in every state from coast to coast in an attempt to educate American citizens.~American Progressive Period~
Teachers began to see education as rigid and counter-intuitive. Colleges begin to offer teaching programs and degrees in teaching. John Dewey is associated with this period for making an indelible mark on this period of history. His psychological approach to education as being humanistic and empathetic helped change education fundamentally.~Industrial Revolution~
With the advances America was making in industry, it as becoming easier to print and distribute textbooks to a wider array of people. By this time, teachers were hired in schools that were aid for by federal taxes, as well as local funding from their respective states. Schools began to be segregated by ages, founding grade level differences between primary, and secondary schools.~Civil Rights Movement~
- America was reaching a boiling point. At this time Civil rights were at their peak, campaigning for women's suffrage and de-segregation in public schools. In 1954, Brown vs. the BOE is a landmark case that ruled segregation in schools unconstitutional. Schools were integrated, but still grappling with effective teaching and school maintenance and creating effective learning environments.~Education Reform~
In the recent past, education reform was at it's peak. With more centralized textbooks and numbers swelling, America was struggling to keep up with the progress. After the DoE was established, the was more government involvement in education then ever before. Between the Bushes and Clinton, reforms like the ESEA and No Child Left Behind attempted to raise the standards of education for individual citizens and more accurately measure the outcomes of success in public education.Brown Vs.
