Looking Backward: Educational Reform in the Twentieth Century.
Jenkins, John M.
International Journal of Educational Reform, v9 n1 p74-78 Jan 2000
Discusses five lasting 20th-century education reforms: ability grouping, testing, district/school consolidation, vocational education, and specialization. The future seems aimed at personalized instruction, smaller schools, less differentiation between academic and vocational education, greater trust in local governance units, and philosophic realization of the mind-body connection. (Contains 13 references.) (MLH)
