The History of Education in the United States

In 1967 and 1974, teacher training all over the United States was covertly revamped through the coordinated efforts of a small number of private foundations. The most important documents in this transformation were three and I'm going to name them for you. Bloom's taxonomy of educational objectives was the first; an extensive government exercise in futureology called designing education for the future was the second and the behavioral teacher education project was the third. That was an enormous manual of over 1,000 pages which in time impacted on every school in the United States.
