Education in a New EraRonald S. Brandt "'Education in a New Era' , the 2000 ASCD Yearbook, looks back to look ahead. Its purpose is to divine what may happen -- as well as what should happen -- in the education of children and youth, after thoughtfully reviewing what has happened so far. The authors, chosen for their expertise in the topics they write about, highlight a few 20th century ideas, events, or developments. Then, after considering the elements of experience that seem most enduring, they try to envision what educators can expect in the years ahead. They address the areas of governance, equity, teaching and teacher development, instruction, curriculum, assessment, the science of learning, technology, and progressive education. "-- |
