The new Handbook of Research in the Social Foundations of Education is now in print. A portion of the royalties from this publication will be transferred to the Council to support its work on behalf of social foundations. We would like to thank Steve Tozer for taking the lead on this on behalf of CSFE.  All of the editors and the contributors who made this volume possible are to be congratulated for their work on this important project.

Information on the Council for Social Foundations of Education’s history, goals, and current involvement in national accreditation (NCATE) has been added to this site.

The AESA Committee on Academic Standards and Accreditation (CASA) has convened a Task Force to explore whether the AESA/CLSE Standards should be revised. Sandra Winn Tutwiler, CASA Chair, is leading this effort.

Education is a social process. Education is growth. Education is, not a preparation for life; education is life itself. — John Dewey
