Beskrivning

First published in 1997. This book illuminates contemporary educational reform discussions regarding teacher education programs and pre-K-12 schools by providing a clear analysis and application of John Dewey's relevant educational writings and ideas. The volume addresses issues of how future teachers should be liberally educated as well as prepared to be professional educators. Pre-K-12 education is evaluated through a Deweyan lens, involving a discussion of such topics as the teacher's responsibilities, charter schools, a common curriculum, professional development schools, new curricula, school administration, and cooperative learning. In the concluding chapter, the authors point out many of the questions and concerns that those who are interested in educational reform are well-advised to ask and discuss.

Recensioner i media

"This is a very good book...The great strength of Educational Reform - one that shines brightly...is the emphasis on Dewey's 'method of intelligence'." -- Studiesin Philosophy and Education"Simpson and Jackson capture the essence of Dewey's ideals. Simpson and Jackson provide a well-balanced, thoughtful narrative as they weave through those concerns most directly related to educational reform. They reflect on what we must do and what we must ask. They maintain that the guiding principles for reform are democracy, education, and thinking; they evoke a Deweyan spirit." -- The Educational Forum
