Covering the period from the origins of municipal public-school systems through 1980, she documents how policymakers created and applied professionalization initiatives in a top-down fashion, and reveals that those initiatives were blocked by competing interests such as teacher unions and teacher educators. The book also sheds light on the ongoing roles of ideology, gender, and race in the development of professionalization and reform initiatives. Annotation ©2020 Ringgold, Inc., Portland, OR ()
