Böcker av John I. Goodlad

In Romances with Schools, John Goodlad steps out from behind the public persona of distinguished scholar and advocate for public schooling to offer a moving personal account of a life devoted to educating the young. He deftly interweaves fascinating personal details with reflections on many of the larger issues in education that he has explored throughout his career.

In nine original chapters, this book provides a comprehensive historical perspective on teacher education in the United States. Using 29 case histories of geographically and institutionally diverse education programs, the authors reveal the origins of the attitudes and practices that are shaping teacher education in our country today.

"Once again Goodlad has his finger on the pulse of education... Excellent reading for the professional educator.
