It
does not seem likely that a new John Dewey is going to appear.
Progressive schools must define their own futures, and there is no
better way than getting the best teachers and leaders together to learn
from each other and create new understanding. There will be no
‘audience’ here – all participants will be expected to think, create
and present. If you are interested in the future of progressive
education, we invite you to join us to tackle these questions:
- What are the essential questions around which secondary
education should be designed? The central skills?
- How should new mind/brain research and technology
change our goals and methods (or should they)?
- How should the imperatives of globalization and
environmental crisis inform our curriculum?
- What are the ‘measurables’, and how will we know we
are succeeding?
Participants: teachers; administrators; and trustees from
progressive public and independent schools, and progressive
educators working in more traditional schools. Professors of
education and others interested in the central educational
debates at a national level.
Antioch NE will offer a credit class for participants following
the symposium.
