American Education by Joel Spring

Clear, concise, and authoritative - compact and affordable, too - with scholarship that is often cited as a primary source, "American Education" brings up-to-date information and challenging perspectives to teacher educators' classrooms. This edition provides thorough coverage of the No Child Left Behind Act, a review of drug testing and vouchers, a new discussion of academic testing, and coverage of the Commission on Excellence in Special Education.

Joel Spring, professor of education at the New School University, received his Ph.D. in educational policy studies from the University of Wisconsin. His father was born a citizen of the Choctaw Nation in Indian Territory prior to the abolishment of the Choctaw government and the creation of Oklahoma. Professor Spring's current interest in Native American culture and history is a reflection of his Indian background. His major research interests are the history of education, multicultural education, Native American culture, and the politics of education. Professor Spring is the author of many books including The Cultural Transformation of a Native American Family and Its Tribe 1763-1995: A Basket of Apples; Images of American Life: A History of Ideological Management in Schools, Movies, Radio, and Television; and Political Agendas for Education: From the Christian Coalition to the Green Party.
