This book is about politics, exploring the general outlook of a group of Americans called Whigs. Between 1834 and 1856, the Whigs were one of the two great political parties in the United States, battling their opponents, the Jacksonian Democrats, for office, prestige, power, and ideas. Boasting famous members such as Henry Clay, Daniel Webster, and William Henry Seward, they supported tariffs, banks, internal improvements, moral reform, and public education....

Public education in the United States acts as a governmental tool of neoliberalism, through which state power and sovereignty are deployed and transformed in daily life. Here, I examine how the divergence of sovereignty is exerted over refugee students and their families in US public education. Drawing on 42 months of ethnographic data collected on refugee and other immigrant networks in Southern Arizona, a US–Mexico border region marked by increasing anti-immigrant policies and practices, I reveal how the everyday practices and policies of one school district reflect and reinforce the government’s control over refugee students. I argue that the ways in which the students are sorted, marginalized, and denied opportunities as learners is inextricable from their positioning as non-citizens by the federal and state governments. Specifically, I demonstrate the linkages between the federal education policy, Every School Succeeds Act, Arizona State’s Proposition 203: English Language Education for the Children in Public Schools, which eliminated bilingual education, and the school district’s approach to teaching refugee students. Finally, I offer recommendations for creating more inclusive, assets-based learning environments for refugee students that push back against the neoliberal favoring of competition and one-size-fits-all solutions in public education.

Instructional Experience

The chapter discusses the importance of students’ examining their motivation for becoming a music educator. As a part of this process, students learn that they must challenge what they think they already know about being a teacher and understand the purposes of public education in the United States. Effective teachers are described as having specific understandings about their subject, about students, about how to structure the subject so that their students can learn efficiently, and about the context in which they teach. Effective teachers use their specialized knowledge, much of which is learned through deliberate instructional experience, to make and assess instructional decisions. A framework for understanding teaching is presented, and a project asks students to write about their motivations to teach music.

Elementary And Secondary Education

Prior to the latter part of the nineteenth century the energies of those interested in public education had been primarily directed toward the completion of the educational ladder. Elementary, secondary, and higher education had been placed under public control and to a large extent was financed by public taxation. In 1893 the Committee of Ten reported to the National Educational Association in favor of enriching the course of study in grades below the high school through the introduction of various subjects such as algebra, geometry, foreign languages, and natural sciences but their recommendations made no provisions for adapting these subjects to the abilities and needs of the children of the lower grades. During the early stages this movement for reorganization centered around the approximate equal division of time devoted to elementary and secondary education. The idea of dividing the six-year secondary school into junior and senior departments did not become a prominent one until the latter part of the first decade of the twentieth century.
