Education Reform
"Education will Give Us a Better Future"
Reform Movement
Horace Mann was the leading educational reformer. He was a secretary of the Massachusetts board of education. He sponsored many reforms such as longer school years, higher pay for teachers, and a large public school system during 1815-1860. He believed that public education had the power to become a stabilizing and equalizing force in society.
Goals of the Reform
The goal for the Education Reform was to give the children, especially poor, the opportunity of receiving an education because they believed it would create good citizens for the future.
Tactics/strategies
I will try to accomplish this by persuading the people of America that the Education is important for everyone because it will make a better future for the country. I will then try to find funding to build public schools.
Key Person
William Holmes McGuffey was born in Pennsylvania, U.S. With little formal education he started teaching in Ohio frontier schools at the age of 14. While teaching he then continued his education. He then started teaching in elementary schools and made a school in his own home. He then created the McGuffey readers, which was textbooks for elementary kids that contained basic lessons of many subjects. These textbooks were used widely in all 50 states in the public elementary schools.
Motivation for Education Reform
Middle class reformers were motivated for this reform because they feared the future of the republic that numbers would grow of uneducated poor people both immigrants and native born. Also during the Second Great Awakening the religious enthusiasm helped the growth of private colleges. Also many people believed that if children had education they would escape poverty and become good citizens.
Key Event
Horace Mann becomes the secretary of the Massachusetts State board of Education in 1837. This event is significant because Mann works hard to look for funds for the schools, and better training for teachers. His believe gains national audience.
Relationships to other Movements
The Education Reform relates to the Women Right Movements because they are both looking for rights that will help the country future. They both work for a goal to receive a right we should have.
