1930s Educational Reform Movements

The 1930s Educational Reform Movements aimed to improve American schools by making education more accessible, relevant, and equitable. Reformers pushed for better teacher training, expanded curriculum including practical skills, and increased government funding. They sought to address inequalities, promote scientific thinking, and modernize education to prepare students for a changing society. These efforts reflected broader social and economic shifts during the Great Depression, emphasizing education as a means of social mobility and national progress. Overall, the movement laid important groundwork for ongoing efforts to create a more inclusive and effective educational system.
