This is important because it shows that education wasbeing used to prepare students for their future rolein society.Progressivism: Jean-Jacques Rousseau established that education should occur through real-life experimentation and discovery.Sputnik I: The hype of Sputnik I led to Congress being in support of the improvement of the education system. It led to areform in the curriculum of science, math, and foreign language.Over time, education moved from something onlyoffered to the privileged, to being segregated, to then beingnon-segregated and becoming more equal. Educationplayed its part in the Equal Rights Movement, and was in turn effected by it. Major Changes: Education Today: Today's education system is defined as "decentralized" by the U.S. Department of Education (2015). The design and implementation of curriculum is largely decided by individual districts, counties, cities and states.Generally, education begins in preschool and goes on tokindergarten, the primary grades, middle school, thenhigh school. The ages and grades vary slightly by schooldistrict and can be different in private or charter school settings.Today, we have fairly centralized ideas of what is expectedof our teachers, and standards have been put in place to ensure our students receive a fair and equal education.Concerns today are over the growing diversity in our schools,and question whether all students are getting an equal education based upon their needs.
