  Yuliet Renteria Public education in the United States The History of Education in the United States, or Foundations of Education, covers trends in formal and informal educational learning in the United States from the 17th century to the early 21st century. The first American schools in the original thirteen colonies were opened in the 17th century. Boston Latin School was founded in 1635 and is the first public school and the oldest existing school in the United States. [1] The first free, taxpayer-funded public school in North America, the Mather School, opened in Dorchester, Massachusetts, in 1639.Bilingual education refers to the practice of teaching school subjects in two different languages. It is readily applied to help students transition from their native language to the languages used in the country where they now live, but it can also be used to teach academic content in two languages at the same time. Why is this important? This is very important to do a review about ...

Paulo Freire

Image
  Yuliet Renteria Critical pedagogy was founded by the Brazilian philosopher and educator Paulo Freire, who promoted it through his 1968 book, Pedagogy of the Oppressed. It subsequently spread internationally, developing a particularly strong base in the United States, where proponents sought to develop means of using teaching to combat racism, sexism, and oppression. As it grew, it incorporated elements from fields like the Human rights movement, Civil rights movement, Disability rights movement, Indigenous rights movement, postmodern theory, feminist theory, postcolonial theory, and queer theory. The theory is influenced by Karl Marx who believed that inequality is a result of socioeconomic differences and that all people need to work toward a socialized economy. More recently, critical pedagogy can also be traced back to Paulo Freire's best-known 1968 work, The Pedagogy of the Oppressed.  He explains that this came from his experience as a teacher in Brazil and when he was ...

Culturally Responsive Teaching.

Image
  Module 3- Learning as dynamic; Education as engagement in social change/justice. I agree with: These teachers are successful because they utilize students’ culture as a vehicle for learning; they have a strong focus on student learning; they are creative; they develop cultural competences and cultivate socio-political awareness in their students. I think it is very important that students have the knowledge and learn from the great variety of different cultures because by doing so they can understand and socialize with their other classmates and at the same time they continue to learn from their teacher to continue a social formation. developing. and academic performance.  I disagree with “culturally responsive teaching activates the citizenship of all students, keeps them awake, and makes them active participants in the fight for social change.” I believe that students go to schools to have academic training to be successful professionals with good ethics and values, but no...

A brief history Education

Image
  Yuliet Renteria Education is the social institution through which a society teaches its members the skills, knowledge, norms and values they need to learn to become good and productive members of their society. As this definition makes clear, education is an important part of socialization. Early American education was primarily private or religious, and it brought mass schooling and literacy to the nation well before the public school system we know today was legislated into existence. Public schooling arose in response to an influx of immigrants who had different  religions or cultures. First education law enacted by Massachusetts General Court requiring parents and guardians of children to “make certain that their charges could read and understand the principles of religion and the laws of the Commonwealth” The "Massachusetts Compulsory Attendance Law," passed in 1642, did not require children to go to school, but it did state that all heads of households in Massachusett...
