New Perspectives on the History of the Twentieth-Century American High School
Springer International Publishing (Verlag)
978-3-030-79924-3 (ISBN)
The growth of the American high school that occurred in the twentieth century is among the most remarkable educational, social, and cultural phenomena of the twentieth century. The history of education, however, has often reduced the institution to its educational function alone, thus missing its significantly broader importance. As a corrective, this collection of essays serves four ends: as an introduction to the history of the high school; as a reevaluation of the power of narratives that privilege the perspective of school leaders and the curriculum; as a glimpse into the worlds created by students and their communities; and, most critically, as a means of sparking conversations about where we might look next for stories worth telling.
Kyle P. Steele is Assistant Professor at the University of Wisconsin Oshkosh, USA. His first book is Making a Mass Institution: Indianapolis and the American High School (2020).
