Written in a comprehensive, narrative style, Schooling Around the World acquaints students with the major debates, practices, and challenges facing teachers throughout the world today.  Drawn from first-hand experience and knowledge, the authors include the latest, most up-to-date viewpoints on comparative and international education. Designed to give students in teacher education programs a global perspective on their future profession, the text is constructed around a solid framework--a consistent structural format for each chapter, and within each chapter--so students can easily draw thematic comparisons among the numerous case studies presented.
