What’s in Education for Hope for School Teachers and Administrators?Details for Teachers and Administrators in the Dutch Neo-Calvinist Tradition
|
More for those teaching or administering in a Neo-Calvinist school:
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 your tradition is unique for its long history of teacher led curriculum and pedagogical reform? This book considers the strengths and weaknesses of this remarkable trait. You will see the vital roles that teachers and administrators play in grassroots curriculum development.
Interested in community narrative? Education for Hope provides a high altitude look at the Canadian wing of the Dutch Neo-Calvinist school movement in North America. You may be surprised by what this tradition has and has not done. Are you aware of the historical efforts key leaders have made to redirect the course of this tradition and their connection to Teaching for Transformation?
Interested in personal narrative? Education for Hope offers the author’s own journey as an adopted son of this tradition. Compare your own story to this one.
Do you engage in issues of curriculum, pedagogy and school reform? Education for Hope contains a theoretical section called “Dig Deeper.” If you and your colleagues are engaged in visioning, or you are taking graduate courses, these discussions can give you perspective and understanding on key perennial issues, themes and problems.
Ever wonder what all the busyness of teaching, learning and administrating should lead to? This book argues for a particular meaning of Hope as the outcome for education in our time. Check it out!
