Since the arrival of settlers to North America, education has evolved into the system you take part in today. This week you will travel from the early foundations of education to the present.

View the video, History of Education to get a quick overview of how education has changed since its infancy in the United States.

The Mystery of Education History

Divide into teams. Using the resources below, each team will need to research the significant figures and issues throughout history that your teacher gives you. All team members will need to participate actively by preparing index cards for each item with the significant point(s) about the person or issue.



Tomorrow, we will play "Education Fact or Fiction" in which you will be presented with statements about education figures and issues. You will use your index cards to earn points in this game -- so on with the research.

Education Timeline
Use the historical periods, people and events to construct a gigantic education timeline. As you view the timeline of American Education, discuss these questions with your classmates.

1. What challenges did teachers of the past encounter? How are those different from today's challenges?

2 What personality and charactertraits, knowledge and skills did teachers/education leaders of the past possess? How are those different from today?

3. What American historical event had the most influence on the course of education? Why do you think that?

4. What individual most influenced the direction of early education (before the 1950s) in America? How did they do so? What modern day (after 1950) individual has made the biggest mark on education? How so?

5. Looking back on your own history as a student, what do you think could have been done differently in your classroom to enrich your education?
