John Dewey's Import on Education Reform
Information
Hopeful discussions about civil society, public schools, and democratic citizenship.
Members: 104
Latest Activity: Mar 9
Discussions based on Dewey's own writings and on those about him and his dream.
Skip Zilla suggests that this group rely (at least at its formation) on six secondary titles to guide its discussions:
1) Benson, Lee, Harkavy, Ira, and Puckett, John. (2007). Dewey's Dream: Universities and Democracies in an Age of Education Reform. Philadelphia: Temple University Press.
2) Welchman, Jennifer. (1995). Dewey's Ethical Thought. Ithaca, NY: Cornell University Press.
3) Tanner, Laurel N. (1997). Dewey's Laboratory School: Lessons for Today. New York: Teachers College Press.
4) Shook, John R. (2000). Dewey's Empirical Theory of Knowledge and Reality. Nashville, TN: Vanderbilt University Press.
5) Westerbrook, Robert B. (1993). John Dewey and American Democracy. Ithaca, NY: Cornell University Press.
6) Campbell, James. (1995). Understanding John Dewey: Nature and Cooperative Intelligence. Peru, IL: Open Court Publishing Company.

Skip, you're right. Last discussion on the forum was on January '08. Too many abandoned classrooms lately? I think so.

Thanks for the link, Liz. Unfortunately, this group has been dormant for at least a year. I have not been an active member of Classroom2.0 ning for even longer.

I see no one has been here for awhile. I hope that email notices will ping some of you. :-)
Have you seen the brilliant video of Dewey on Progressive Education in the 1940s?

P.S. Will anyone be at AERA in San Diego? Want to have a meet-up?
