For Foundations of Education, Introduction to Education, Philosophy of Education, Current Issues in Education, and Education Policy.

This casebook offers 27 research-based cases that explore current and controversial issues in education; the stakeholders involved in education-parents, teachers, administrators and other professionals; and the groups affected by educational controversies-the disenfranchised, those with special needs, liberals, conservatives, reformists, radicals, scientists, technocrats, humanists, and artists. The provocative writing style that asks "why" and "what if" in a way no other text does, is intended to stimulate and provoke students to reflect on-and hopefully modify-their own ideas and values that will shape their teaching.
