Overview
Berube (Old Dominion U.) traces the words and work of reformers and progressives from the Left to find if they actually had an influence on the development of American education. He starts with Dewey and Counts, which leads him to the development of teaching unions, then to the work of Aronowitz, Giroux, and Apple and those they influenced, finding elements of each in popular mainstream teacher education texts. His research makes him tend to believe that although three great progressive movements eventually became a part of the educational mainstream, he does not expect to see any more such phenomena in the future.
