More details for student teachers preparing to teach in a school that belongs to a faith-based 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, 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.
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 the vital role a teacher preparation program makes to encourage curricular/pedagogical reforms among new teachers.

You may be surprised by what this tradition has, or has not done. Are you and your fellow student teachers aware of the historical efforts key leaders have made to redirect the course of this tradition? Do you have a clear vision of teaching and learning? Education for Hope provides a context for you to engage these discussions.
