FOURTH EDITION

Jonas F. Soltis, Editor

The revised and expanded Fourth Edition of this series builds on the

strengths of the previous editions. Written in a clear and concise style, these

books speak directly to preservice and in-service teachers. Each offers use-

ful interpretive categories and thought-provoking insights into daily prac-

tice in schools. Numerous case studies provide a needed bridge between

theory and practice. Basic philosophical perspectives on teaching, learning,

curriculum, ethics, and the relation of school to society are made readily ac-

cessible to the reader.
