More for School Reformers interested in public education:
Philosopher Nicholas Wolterstorff once observed that to do justice to any tradition, one should understand how it interprets its vision, how it expresses that vision, and the relevant highlights of its narrative. To those three requirements, I add a fourth: one should also understand a tradition in its cultural context. Education for Hope represents my effort to do justice to the Dutch Neo-Calvinist tradition of alternative education.
Did you know the Dutch Neo-Calvinist tradition in Canada is unique for its long history of teacher led curriculum and pedagogical reform? This book considers the high and low points of this remarkable trait. You will see what obstacles stood in the way of curricular/pedagogical reforms and the efforts of educators to overcome them.
Interested in community narrative? Education for Hope provides a high altitude look at Canadian wing of the Dutch Neo-Calvinist school movement in North America. Key to this story are the efforts key reformers made to redefine its vision and thereby make a course correction for their tradition? Is your tradition in need of a course correction? Education for Hope is a catalyst for understanding school reform and naming new initiatives.
Interested in personal narrative? Education for Hope offers the author’s own journey as an adopted son of this tradition. Compare his efforts at reform to your own.
Are you concerned about issues of curriculum, pedagogy, and vision reform? Education for hope contains a theoretical section called “Dig Deeper.” These discussions help clarify the issues, themes and problems you will likely encounter in school reform efforts.
Ever wonder what school reform should eventually lead to? This book argues for a particular meaning of Hope as the outcome for educational reform in our time. Check it out!
