Sociological Perspective

What significant factors from the sociology of education can inform the practices of educators and what do you find important to consider as a teacher?

Political Perspective

As Sadovnik et al. (2018) state, “Teachers alone will not solve the problems. However, they must be part of the solution” (p. 507). As you reflect on chapter 10, what are your thoughts on the direction of public education over the past 40 years, the authors views on preferred changes, and your priorities for the future of education?
