More details for student teachers preparing to teach in a the Dutch, Neo-Calvinist tradition of 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, 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 this 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 also see the vital role that a teacher preparation program makes to encourage curricular/pedagogical reforms among new teachers.

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, or has not accomplished.  Are you 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.

Interested in personal narrative?  Education for Hope offers the author’s own journey as a teacher, curriculum developer and teacher educator.  Compare this story to your former and current teachers, and to your own emerging story.

Do you plan to engage issues of curriculum, pedagogy and school reform?  Education for Hope contains a theoretical section called “Dig Deeper.”  If you want to deepen your understanding of curricular, pedagogical and school reforms, these discussions can help.

Ever wonder what kind of teacher you want to become?  This book argues for a particular meaning of Hope as the outcome for teacher education in our time.  Check it out!
