The Rise of Common School

• The first public secondary school was established

in Boston in 1821 and marked the beginning of

this long and slow struggle to achieve public

funding.

• Horace Mann (1796-1859) was the one of the

strongest proponents for public education and the

common school.

• As the common school movement continued togrow, the settlement of the territory in what isnow the western United States encouraged thedevelopment of higher education to bettermeet the needs of a growing and more diversepopulation.

Compulsory Education

• Compulsory school attendance laws were first passed in Massachusetts in 1852 and invariably spread to other sections of the country.

• By 1900, thirty-two states had passed compulsory education laws and by 1930 all the states had some form of this law in place. Subsequently the numbers of children receiving an education increased dramatically.

• As the number of students grew, the need alsoincreased for a more efficient method ofadministration, school leaders turned to bigbusiness to provide a model of scientificmanagement to effectively manage theseresources.

The Progressive Era of Education

• John Dewey (1859-1952) was the most prominent of the progressive educators. He wrote extensively about the need for teachers to understand the child.

• Maria Montessori (1870-1952) learned to appreciate the quality of human potential. She was the first Italian woman who graduated from medical school. Montessori, believed that children should be instructed according to where they were developmentally.

• Following World War II, the population of the United States increased dramatically.

• As the numbers of school children grew, the demand for facilities and teachers also increased.

• The reform movement in education was also characterized by a new curricular emphasis.

• The educational focus for the nineties has been primarily directed at school reform. For the most part teachers have risen to the occasion, taking on roles of leadership and leading the way into the 21st century.
