Hardback. Condition: New. The definitive history of the report card.Report cards represent more than just an account of academic standing and attendance. The report card also serves as a tool of control and as a microcosm for the shifting power dynamics among teachers, parents, school administrators, and students. In Report Cards: A Cultural History, Wade H. Morris tells the story of American education by examining the history of this unique element of student life. In the nearly two hundred-year evolution of the report card, this relic of academic bookkeeping reflected broader trends in the United States: the republican zealotry and religious fervor of the antebellum period, the failed promises of postwar Reconstruction for the formerly enslaved, the changing gender roles in newly urbanized cities, the overreach of the Progressive child-saving movement in the early twentieth century, and-by the 1930s-the increasing faith in an academic meritocracy. The use of report cards expanded with the growth of school bureaucracies, becoming a tool through which administrators could surveil both student activity and teachers. And by the late twentieth century, even the most radical critics of numerical reporting of children have had to compromise their ideals.Morris traces the evolution of how teachers, students, parents, and administrators have historically responded to report cards. From a western New York classroom teacher in the 1830s and a Georgia student in the 1870s who was born enslaved, to a Colorado student incarcerated in the early 1900s and the son of Russian-Jewish immigrants applying to college in the 1930s, Report Cards describes how generations of people have struggled to maintain dignity within a system that reduces children to numbers on slips of paper.…

A good and very clean copy. - Summary: Teaching Enslavement in American History provides classroom teachers with the resources necessary to navigate one of the most difficult topics in any history course. This volume is the product of a collaboration between three university professors and a team of experienced middle and high school teachers. Its nine chapters include the context for topics like the middle passage, the Constitutions position on enslavement, African cultural retention, and resistance to enslavement. The resources include 18 lesson plans and dozens of short primary and secondary sources modeled on document-based questions and the inquiry design model. Real teaching requires courage, a deep understanding of the complexity of the subject matter, and skillful use of primary sources. Rather than teaching students what to think, Teaching Enslavement in American History pushes students to learn how to think: empirical argumentation, source evaluation, understanding of change-over-time, and analysis of historical context. The lessons in this book ask students to read, analyze, and contextualize a variety of primary sources, to identify the limitations of these sources and to articulate historical contradiction where it occurs. At the heart of this book is the belief that historical consciousness leads to societal change. Teaching about enslavement is not merely about teaching a curriculum, it is about molding citizens who will lead our democracy in its journey to become a more perfect union. - Contents: Chapter One: Slavery in Colonial America -- IDM: Class and Race -- DBQ: Tobacco vs. Rice -- Chapter Two: The Middle Passage -- IDM: Cultural Survival and the Slave Trade -- DBQ: African Resistance and the Slave Trade -- Chapter Three: African Cultural Retention -- IDM: African Roots of American Music -- DBQ: African Religions in America -- Chapter Four: Slavery and the Constitution -- IDM: The Morality of Compromise -- DBQ: Slavery and the Constitution in the 19th Century -- Chapter Five: Slavery in the Early Republic, 1790-1833 -- IDM: Capitalism and Slavery -- DBQ: The Debate over Slavery, 1787-1833 -- Chapter Six: Enslavement and Resistance -- IDM: "Effective" Resistance -- DBQ: The Different Forms of Resistance -- Chapter Seven: Abolitionism -- IDM: The Use of Violence -- DBQ: The Cult of Domesticity and Abolitionism -- Chapter Eight: Slavery and the Coming of the Civil War, 1833-1860 -- IDM: Real Freedom -- DBQ: Slavery and Politics in the 1850s -- Chapter Nine: Civil War and Emancipation -- IDM: Blueprint -- DBQ: The Lives of the Formerly Enslaved.
