...century, the need to educate women increased greatly. However, a women’s race and class often influenced their education opportunities. The following paragraphs discuss how the American Revolution increased the need for educating women, what education limits were imposed, how education opportunities were related to religious developments, and how race and class affected access to education. After the American Revolution, there was an increased need to educate men and women due to industrialization of the new nation (DuBois & Dumenil, 2009). Therefore, women found themselves in a position to become more educated in order to educate their children. During this time, women’s duties included the up bringing and teaching of their children. Without educating these mothers, the children would not grow up educated themselves. Women felt that educating their children was their civic duty. Historians often refer to this as Republican Motherhood (DuBois & Dumenil, 2009). The reasoning behind this change was that if the children were not educated the nation would not be able to produce intelligent male figures. By allowing women to become educated themselves, the likely hood of producing well-educated males would increase significantly (DuBois & Dumenil, 2009). This would increase the chances of industrializing the nation. Before the American Revolution, education for women was limited. The majority of men knew how to write, while most women did not. White women did however...

...Movers and Shakers in Education Julia Ann Bonner Grand Canyon University Philosophical and Social Issues in Education EDU-576 Professor George McGee August 08, 2012 Movers and Shakers in Education The purpose of this paper is to review and acknowledge the efforts and contributions of four significant people in history who helped to shape the American educational system. Though the four people discussed in this paper are certainly not the only ones who left a permanent mark upon the history of our American educational system we have today, their efforts and philosophies laid the foundation upon which our educational system today was built. Horace Mann Horace Mann is credited with creating the first state board of education in 1837, whereby schools were managed by a state system. He was a leader in the Common School Movement and believed that teaching standards were in great need of improvement and that teachers should be paid better. He brought a great deal of focus onto current school conditions and prompted discussions on ways to improve them. Because of him, school conditions were improved and better equipped. Mr. Mann was fundamental in helping to instigate teacher training institutions (known as normal schools) and considerably successful in raising the standards of not just schools, but colleges as well. He has been referred to as “The Father of American Education”, (gcumedia.com, 2012). His philosophy was that...

...How do you feel about change? For many, change is scary. From when I can remember, education did not take on the form of many programs. Education was something you needed to get by in life and that was final. Despite its many changes, public education still faces challenges with academic success. Education Reform is best known for improving public schools. The system focuses on changing teacher centered schools to student centered schools, because its main standards are academic centered thriving more on assessments such as test scores. In my experience, diversity in schools have affected me socially and emotionally. As a black woman growing up in a predominantly white neighborhood, I did not feel as welcomed. Granted I was not discriminated...

...Early education in the United States found its beginnings trailing the Antiquity period, prior to the 5th century, with European roots. Early education moves through the Industrial Revolution, 5th to 15th century, and Post-Industrial Revolution finally arriving in America with Friedrich William Froebel (Lascarides and Hinitz, 2011). The timeframe was late 1700s through middle 1800s (Please see Appendix 1 for pioneers and their countries/states). During Antiquity, Sparta and Athens were the cities to notice. Sparta acknowledged children developing differently than adults. These differences in adults and children were divided into preschool years (birth to seven) and formal education years (seven to twenty). Ancient Greek was influenced by these...

...The Value of Music in Basic Education “Music happens to be an art form that transcends language.” Herbert Jeffrey Hancock, famed American musician, defined music’s transcendental nature very aptly. Music is now widely recognized as a learning medium, an educational tool, and a means of expressiveness of creativity. Modern education emphasizes the importance of using learning methods that will effectively teach children having a variety of learning needs. The old “one size fits all” education system is rapidly being overcome by a more flexible and welcoming system that caters to each child’s individual learning needs. Elementary education is the first level of learning children are exposed to so it is imperative that their foundation is concrete and long lasting. Contrary to rote memorization techniques of the past, modern teaching techniques let children learn at their own pace. In some cultures inclusion of music as a learning element from an early age is not an alien concept at all, e.g. in ancient Indian, Chinese, and even African American cultures. It has been a part of everyday cultural and religious learning for young children. In his paper “The History and Development of Multicultural Music Education as Evidenced in the Music Educators Journal, 1967-1992”, Terese M. Volk sheds light on how music educators were initially encouraged to adopt a multicultural music perspective and include all kinds of music in their curriculum. The paper describes in detail the struggle...

...THE EMERGENCE OF BRAZIL AND ITS EDUCATION SYSTEM The Emergence of Brazil and Its Education System Chris, Keala, Monique Chaminade University THE EMERGENCE OF BRAZIL AND ITS EDUCATION SYSTEM 2 The Emergence of Brazil and Its Education System With increasing economic growth and widespread foreign investments, Brazil, one of the largest countries in South America, is by all accounts, emerging. While economic and population growth are supporting Brazil’s emergence, it is critical that Brazil's education system is strong, so that its people have the opportunity to fully emerge and compete as a developed country. Currently, Brazil’s population is approximately 200,000 million, a number accumulated from its large cities and rural areas. In the capital city of Brasilia there are an estimated million people and another 10 million in the nation’s largest city of São Paulo. Areas where there are high populations it most likely to see improvements in educational standards. The bigger challenge rests in the rural areas of Brazil, where approximately 18 million poor people are without education, health care and employment opportunities. The common education and economic challenges Brazil faces are similar to other emerging nations. Identifying the issues is simple; however sometimes the solutions are not easily identified. (CIA World Fact Book, 2013) Brazil’s Education Today Opportunities for a Brazilian’s education are decided through the great divide of economic classes. This...

According to Dr. Joseph Kosciw, GLSEN’s Chief Research & Strategy Officer (2016), “It is abundantly clear that LGBTQ students face disproportionately high levels of school discipline due to hostile school climates that ultimately deprive many of them, not only of their education, but also the success in life that education affords. Given the findings of Educational Exclusion, we must redouble our efforts to create supportive schools for LGBTQ students, particularly transgender and gender nonconforming students, students experiencing homelessness, students with disabilities and students of color.” He added, “Lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer (LGBTQ) students face high rates of school discipline, including detention, suspension...

This technology include computers, the interest, broad casting technology (such as radio and television), and telephony according to O’leary & O’ leary (2004) refers to a communication process that uses the interest rather than traditional communication lines to connect two or more people via telephone. Thus, Information and Communication Technology is a technology that merges computing with high speed communication links carrying data, sound and videos. As a powerful tool for information dissemination, ICT has a wide variety of application and usage. It is used in such places as industries, banks, homes, military, Agriculture and education.

...African American History Michele Matthews HIS 204 American History Since 1865 Instructor: Mark Hoffman November 13, 2013 African American History To earn their place in America’s Society, African Americans fought many battles that brought them a very long way from 1865. African Americans went through a whole lot of hardship to get where they are today. Yes it is not perfect now but every actions made a big different through history. There are many achievements African American has made since the ending of slavery. Many sat, spoke, marched, cried, fought, died, and dreamed to make footprint in history. In this paper I will discuss some very important event in African American history like our 44th President Obama back to when slavery was ended. It all started in 1865 when the Civil war ended. The African American felt their freedom was a great turning point. Once slavery ended African American made plan to expand their culture. In our textbook, it states “They had a clear vision of what freedom meant. It was not just freedom from white control, but also the opportunity to expand the institutions and autonomous culture that they made while they endured slavery” (Bowles, 2011). As they develop a new society and beliefs, the laws started to change as while. The Plessy v. Ferguson case was the birth of the Jim Crow law. In David Bishop journal, he stated “Bernstein concluded that the “Supreme Court was compelled to distort cases before it could pollute the stream...

...I am writing my paper on African Americans writing a letter to a friend that is not African American. Dear Anthony, I am writing this letter because I would like to share with you what it is like to be African American and the what we have experienced throughout history. Sometimes people think that because times have passed and things are better that we should be happy but that is not the case. So I just want to give you some insight on African American’s history in the Unites States. Black history has tremendously shaped the African American experience in the United States. For most of U.S history the African American experience developed outside the American culture. Black history’s impact on the African American experience resulted from influences of slavery and racial discrimination in the U.S. For most of U.S history, legal and social discrimination has denied African Americans access to education, literacy, and work. The Harlem Renaissance was one of the first and most important movements in black history. It was the first recognition of African American for their music, literature, arts, and poetry. The Harlem Renaissance was an important period of increased political involvement in black history. Another important movement for African Americans was the Black Arts movement. The Black Arts movement saw the rise of music and literature that embraced a pronounced political and racial consciousness. The Harlem Renaissance and the Black Arts movements are only two of...
