Abstract

The purpose of this article is to discuss strategies for secondary, public school educators to implement postmodern thinking in the United States of America. Postmodernism is a set of strategic practices that erase limits or norms to abide by placed upon people in society. Jacobs and Kritsonis say the time is now for educators to be recognizant of rapid changes occurring in the school system. They need to be prepared to address these changes. Public school administrators must incorporate postmodern ideas into the secondary school system to implement quality programs in their schools that aides in resolving change. The authors emphasize that if this is not done, secondary, public schools will be left behind.
