Progress in Progressive Education:
A meeting of the minds for secondary school educators

Progress in Progressive Education

The Progress in Progressive Education Symposium was held at The Putney School June 20-22, 2010. Almost 150 educators and researchers joined to discuss some of the central questions of progressive education at the secondary level, and the role of our schools in the larger national debate.

Materials coming out of the symposium are being posted on this site as they become available. A Moodle site will be created to facilitate continuing conversations.

Antioch NE is offering a credit class for participants following the work of the symposium. For more information on this contact Marti Anderson at marti.r.anderson@gmail.com.
