Lee, R. Alton – Great Plains Quarterly, 2012
The most important third-party movement in American history emerged out of the social and economic chaos brewing in the Great Plains in the last two decades of the nineteenth century. The maelstrom, labeled Populism, contained a powerful, indeed a truly revolutionary message--that man was his brother's keeper. This concept proved to have…

Vansover, Yaron – Education, 2013
History teaching in schools has long been in a state of deep crisis. Students do not like history nor do they know it.

Roy, Joydeep; Mathis, William J. – National Education Policy Center, 2017
A recent report from EdChoice documents two staffing trends in public schools.

Shearer, Sam – Journal of the National Collegiate Honors Council, 2015
After an accomplished military career leading up to and during World War II, Truman Smith (1893-1970) was seemingly forgotten. His name was seldom mentioned after the war until his memoirs were published posthumously in 1984. History shows Smith to be an astoundingly successful figure in military intelligence. This article provides a biography on…

Span, Christopher M. – Teachers College Record, 2015
This chapter details how slavery, segregation, and racism impacted the educational experiences of African Americans from the colonial era to the present. It argues that America has yet to be a truly post-slavery and post-segregation society, let alone a post-racial society.

Valenzuela, Angela; Zamora, Emilio; Rubio, Brenda – Voices in Urban Education, 2015
English learners are best supported when they receive culturally relevant content-area instruction in their first language. Numerous studies (e.g., Lindholm-Leary 2001) support this approach, and bilingual and dual language teachers in the community of Austin, Texas, have called for curricular resources. In response, a group of researchers,…

Drane, Gregory – Music Educators Journal, 2015
The service of blacks in the U.S. military can be traced back to the Revolutionary War.

(b) What is…

Chandler, Karen Michele – Children's Literature in Education, 2016
Although children's literature has long alluded to cultural connections between Africans and African Americans, very few texts establish clear lines of influence between particular African ethnic groups and African American characters and communities. Joyce Hansen's "The Captive" (1994) and Sharon Draper's "Copper Sun" (2006)…

Murray, Charles – Journal of Character Education, 2014
The day-to-day appraisal of the state of the nation is understandably dominated by the stories in the headlines. In "Coming Apart" (Murray, 2012), the author attempted to step back from today's headlines and take a longer view of where the nation is heading. Murray's conclusion was that we face a much more ominous long-term problem than…
