In this book, his life’s work, he interweaves his teaching experience, the knowledge he gleaned from his trip, and the history of Progressive Education. As Little and Katherine Ellison reveal, these educators and schools invigorate learning and promote inquisitiveness by allowing the curriculum to grow organically out of children's questions―whether they lead to studying the senses, working on a farm, or re-creating a desert ecosystem in the classroom.\nWe see curious students draw on information across disciplines to think in imaginative yet practical ways, like in a \"Mini-Maker Faire\" or designing and building a chair from scratch. Becoming good citizens was another of Little's goals. He believed in the need for students to learn how to become advocates for themselves, from setting rules on the playground to engaging in issues of social justice in the wider community.\nUsing the philosophy of Progressive Education, schools can prepare students to shape a vibrant future in the arts and sciences for themselves and the nation. 10 photographs\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0393246167\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.0393246167.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Little, Tom|Ellison, Katherine|Waldman, Ayelet\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Gently used with minimal wear on the corners and cover.
