HNRS 4200 - Reinventing the American Public Schools


The American public school was invented in the middle years of the 19th century in response to massive changes in a nation increasingly industrialized, urbanized, and socially diversified. Once again, the nation is in the midst of changes of a magnitude similar to those occurring in the 19th century. Information and communication technologies have generated deep and wide consequences for how Americans work, play, learn and communicate. The focus of the course is not on fixing the problems in our schools, but on the transformational changes that are necessary to harmonize our schools with the realities of life in the 21st century. This course satisfies WMU Essential Studies Level 3: Connections – Local and National Perspectives Category.
