What’s in Education for Hope for School Teachers and Administrators?Details for School Teachers and Administrators in Public Schools
|
More details for teachers and administrators in public schools:
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, this book adds a fourth: one should also understand a tradition in its cultural context. Using these criteria Education for Hope seeks to do justice to the Dutch Neo-Calvinist tradition of alternative education in Canada.
Did you know that a relatively small group of post-WWII Dutch Neo-Calvinist immigrants built a K to university system of alternative education in Canada from 1950 to 1985 which is still thriving today?
Interested in community narrative? This tradition is unique for its long history of teacher led curriculum and pedagogical reform! This priority led to a rich understanding and critique of the Progressive Paradigm of Education that shapes the North American educational landscape. You can learn much from this tradition’s efforts to overcome this paradigm.
Interested in personal narrative? Education for Hope offers the author’s own journey as an adopted son of this tradition. Compare your own story as a public school teacher to this one.
Do you engage in issues of curriculum, pedagogy and school reform? Are you taking graduate courses? Education for Hope contains a theoretical section called “Dig Deeper.” It can provide you with perspective on a variety of perennial key issues in educational reform.
Ever wonder what all the busyness of teaching, learning and administering should lead to? This book argues for a particular meaning of Hope that applies to schools of every tradition. Check it out!
