Handbook of Educational Leadership and Management


The twentieth century witnessed dramatic economic growth that transformed
every sector of the American economy except education. A visitor from the 1880s
to a classroom in the 1980s would find a remarkably familiar setting. While the
fashions and furnishings of the modern classroom would have changed, the overall
design of the classroom would seem quite the same, with students receiving
instruction from a teacher standing in front of the classroom. While schools have
largely maintained the same fundamental structure over the past two centuries,
parents and policy makers, recognizing the need for education to adapt to the
needs of a changing world, have increasingly brought education to the forefront of
political platforms and legislative agendas. Alongside the growing political clamour,
education industry pioneers have been arduously blazing a trail to
demonstrate that for-profit education providers can complement, supplement and
improve the existing structure of education
