Description:

This course covers the social origins of the American educational system; educational reform movements; the social organization of schools; power and status in the schools; teacher professionalization; student culture and the "student role"; the "hidden curriculum" of schools; social inequalities and the school system; the effects of race, class and gender on education; and the future of American schools.
