Thirty state teacher associations form. The first National Teachers’ Association is formed. In the late 1870s, this group merges with the National Association of School Superintendents and the American Normal School Association to become the National Education Association (NEA). A group of teachers from San Antonio, Texas, becomes the first to join a labor union, the American Federation of Labor (AFL). The American Federation of Teachers (AFT) is formed. The AFT has more than 10,000 members. More than 200,000 teachers belong to the NEA (up from about 7,000 in 1910). More than 30,000 teachers belong to the AFT. More than 100 strike threats are carried out. First the AFT and then the NEA take up militant tactics, including collective bargaining and strikes. Teacher organizations are involved in political action and show growing concern for increased professionalism.

28. The Patterns of the Classroom Sadker/Sadker,Teachers, Schools, and Society After observing in more than 1,000 classrooms, John Goodlad and his team of researchers found that the following patterns characterize most classrooms: • Much of what happens in class is geared toward maintaining order among 20 to 30 students restrained in a relatively small space. • Although the classroom is a group setting, each student typically works alone. • The teacher is the key figure in setting the tone and determining the activities. • Most of the time, the teacher is in front of the classroom teaching a whole group of students. Source: John Goodlad, A Place Called School (New York. McGraw-Hill, 1984).

29. The Patterns of the Classroom (continued) Sadker/Sadker,Teachers, Schools, and Society • There is little praise or corrective feedback; classes are emotionally neutral or flat places. • Students are involved in a limited range of activities—listening to lectures, writing answers to questions, and taking exams. • A significant number of students are confused by teacher explanations and feel that they do not get enough guidance on how to improve. • There is a decline in the attractiveness of the learning environment and the quality of instruction as students progress through the grades. Goodlad concluded that “the emotional tone of the classroom is neither harsh and punitive nor warm and joyful; it might be described most accurately as flat.” Source: John Goodlad, A Place Called School (New York. McGraw-Hill, 1984).
