USA Education In Brief
September 2008
USA Education in Brief covers the development of the public school movement, beginning with "common school," (the iconic little red schoolhouse) in the 18th century, through the Land-Grant university movement to the G.I. Bill of Rights and the civil rights movement which expanded educational opportunity to all U.S. citizens. Additional topics include 21st century challenges; civic, bilingual, and special education; foreign exchanges; and teaching democracy to a new generation.
The innovative U.S. education scene at the primary and secondary level includes not just traditional public and private schools but experimental charters and magnets, faith-based schools and home-schooling.
Online instruction is rapidly achieving a critical mass that is transforming education in the United States from the elementary grades to the university level.
The award-winning documentary film A Son's Sacrifice focuses on a family business in New York founded by a Muslim immigrant from Bangladesh and taken over by his U.S.-born son. Clips from the film can be used to learn about such concepts as diversity, cultural pluralism and acculturation.
