Common Schools Most important # 1
Only larger towns in New England were required to build a school, otherwise schools were not free or public. People got together and hired a teacher, where each parent had to pay a fee, and had their kids go to school. I think this is important becuase we as students today take advantage of school and education, where they parents had to work for their childrens education. link: http://www.disabilitymuseum.org/dhm/edu/essay.html?id=42 -
First eduation law
A few selectman decide what the children should be taught and they get to decide who teaches the children. Only one person was chosen to teach the children. 5 years later, every township of 50 was to provide a teacher to teach reading and writing. Every township of 100 was to provide a grammar school. They were already growing in the education department. -
Monitorial, charity, and infant schools
Monitorial school had one main teacher, and many monitiory to watch over the kids. Thekids split into section, adn would rotate.
Charity schools were for the poor. This helped because the poorer would still be getting a basic eduation.
Infant school, would be just for the little kids, which is now kindergarten. -
Education in the Colonial Period
During the Colonial Period, most people were protestant meaning the school they were in were mainly focused to the protestant religion. During education, the Irish and Catholic were not included. The textbooks made fun of the Irish and they were not welcomed. This changed overtime, and they didnt include raligion anymore in the texts, or lessons they were teaching. -
Benkamin Rush

Education in colonial period
Education in the colonial periodin the New World before jamestown was very broad. Fredrich Frobel established the first kindergarten and his aim for school was self development through self expression such as dancing, singing, and activites. The new england Colonies contributed the most to education. -
Horrce Mann Most important # 2
Horace Mann intervened with the state to build institutions. He went on horse back from district to distric and wrote detailed reports of the school houses the kids were being taught in. Eventually Mann establish free tax supported of education for kids after being opposed a couple of times. I think Horace Mann is very influential and we can still learn from himi today because of his commitment, anf fight to have education for all the kids. He never gave up.

John Dewey
John Dewey established his own laboratory school at the university of chicago. Dewey was for child-centered curriculum and wanting them to experience rather than jsut memorize. He wanted what was best for the kids. -
Brown Vs. Board Most important # 3
Brown Vs. Board was a very big contribution into trying to include blacks into school. Linda Brown spoke for most, and said that segregation had to end, because they were not being fair to the blacks, and their books were 4-5 years behind the whites. I think this historical event is very important beccause we all need to be treated equal and teaches us to include others and dont judge. http://www.pbs.org/wnet/supremecourt/rights/landmark_brown.html -
Civil right Bill most important # 4
This bill garunteeed the equiltiyy for all men which included that the federal government provided funds for schooling. They had the right to go into the school and make sure they are including the blacks, and if not, they would cut off the funds. This made sure the southern states would integrate the blacks. I think this is important for us to know because we all want equailty, and we each have a right to it. http://www.history.com/topics/black-history/civil-rights-act -
DIsabilities Act
Before 1975, children with disabilities were denied for school, and excluded. None of the children with disabiliites were allowed education. Until the education for all handicapped children ac support states, and protected the rights of the children. -

Education in the late 19th century and early 20th century has increasd rapidly. This is including schools, economics, jobs, expansion in the railroad for trades. We today are still growing hugely. From 1890-1920 school enrollment went up 70% and we are still increaing. -
The child Study Movement
The child study movement obeserved the children emotinaly and their different personalities. This movement helped with learning about how children think, and grow. This helped pyschologistsand teachers to better help their students. -
No Child Left Behind Act # 5
Most important # 5
This act helps the students not be left behind. Student will be tested yearly in different subjects. This helps us know where the students stand in education, and what extra help they need. NCLB also helps promote social justice in eduation where attention can be focused on the underperforming student often from poorer families. I think this law is very impotant to us as teachers so we can help all of our students succeed. http://www.k12.wa.us/esea/NCLB.aspx
