What’s in Education for Hope for Alternative Education Supporters?Details for Supporters of the Dutch Neo-Calvinist Tradition of Education
|
More details for supporters of 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, the 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 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 roles that regional associations, school boards, and administrators have to encourage curricular/pedagogical reforms among 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 your tradition has, and has not done. Are you and members of your community aware of the historical efforts key leaders have made to redirect the course of the tradition?
Interested in personal narrative? Education for Hope offers the author’s own journey as an adopted son of this tradition. Compare this story to those of the teachers in your school.
Do you engage in issues of curriculum, pedagogy and school reform? Education for Hope contains a theoretical section called “Dig Deeper.” If you want your school staff and administrator to engage in visioning, these discussions can give you perspective and understanding of perennial key issues, themes and problems.
Ever wonder what Christian education should lead to? This book argues for a particular meaning of Hope as the outcome for education in our time. Check it out!
