Although nearly two-hundred state colleges and regional universities throughout the U.S. began as 'normal' schools, the institutions themselves have buried their history, and scholars have largely overlooked them. As these institutions later became state colleges and/or regional universities, they distanced themselves from the low status of elementary-literally erasing physical evidence of their normal-school past. In doing so, they buried the rich history of generations of students for whom attending normal school was an enriching, and sometimes life-changing experience. Focusing on these students, the first wave of 'non-traditional' students in higher education, The American State Normal School is a much-needed re-examination of the state normal school.This book was subject of an annual History of Education Society panel for best new books in the field. 606 $aTeachers colleges$zUnited States$xHistory 606 $aEducational change$zUnited States$xHistory 615 0$aTeachers colleges$xHistory. 615 0$aEducational change$xHistory. 676 $a370.09 700 $aOgren$b Christine A$01615112 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910817652803321 996 $aThe American state normal school$93945186 997 $aUNINA
