This book profiles the work of the American Institute of Instruction (AII), founded in 1830, which played a pivotal role in the professionalization of teaching in the United States. The book chronicles the AII's legislative battles, conventions, lectures, and publications, investigating its promotion of school supervision, teacher training, and curriculum development. The author reveals compelling insights into educational practices and philosophies of the time. The text illuminates the Institute's role in promoting methods such as school supervision, which would later become a cornerstone of American education reform. It demonstrates the AII's advocacy for a well-rounded curriculum, emphasizing the importance of not just rote memorization but also critical thinking and practical application of knowledge. The book also examines key themes influencing educational thought at the time, such as the tension between local control and state oversight, the role of religion in public schools, and the challenges of providing equitable education in a rapidly growing and diverse nation. This book provides a comprehensive overview of the AII's history, shedding light on the intellectual, social, and political forces that shaped American education in the 19th century.
