4.9/5 (29818 ratings)

Description:Arthur O. Norton, Professor of History and Principles of Education in Wellesley College, Lecturer in the Harvard Graduate School of Education, introduces and provides supportive material to accentuate two journals kept by two distinct voices of the State Normal School at Framingham during its initial year after being founded by Horace Mann. One journal recounts the daily writings of the first principal or president, Cyrus Peirce, while the other journal belongs to Mary Swift, a student. Through these two journals, the book takes the reader through the first six terms of Peirce's administration (1839-1841) and the first three terms of Mary Swift (1839-1840). Valuable as it offers a first hand account from the view of administrator and student, it is an essential consideration to those who wish to examine early teacher training or wish to explore Horace Mann's vision of normal institutes. In addition to Norton's introduction and the journals, additional elements include the inclusion of James G. Carter's essay "Outline of an Institution for the Training of Teachers" (1825), and other essays cultivated by Norton for inclusion in this book. An early historical examination of the normal schools that would often transition into state schools, this book provides historical insights and first hand accounts of the beginning of America's first teacher training school established solely for that purpose.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
