What’s in Education for Hope for School Reformers?Details for School Reformers Working in the Dutch Neo-Calvinist Tradition
|
More for School Reformers rooted in the Neo-Calvinist tradition:
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 Canadian wing of your tradition 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 the vital role curricular/pedagogical reforms have for lasting school reform.
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. You may be surprised by what your tradition has, or has not done. Are you aware of the historical efforts key reformers have made to redirect the course of your tradition? Education for Hope provides a context for evaluating the current direction of school movement.
Interested in personal narrative? Education for Hope offers the author’s own journey as an adopted son of this tradition. Compare this account of school reform to your own efforts and those who work with you.
Are you concerned about the way your tradition has dealt with issues of curriculum, pedagogy and school reform? Education for hope contains a theoretical section called “Dig Deeper.” These discussions can help define the issues, themes and problems you want to raise.
