The Handbook of Deweyâs Educational Theory and Practice
In the last twenty-five years there has been a great deal of scholarship about John Deweyâs work, as well as continued appraisal of his relevance for our time, especially in his contributions to pragmatism and progressivism in teaching, learning, and school learning. The Handbook of Deweyâs Educational Theory and Practice provides a comprehensive, accessible, richly theoretical yet practical guide to the educational theories, ideals, and pragmatic implications of the work of John Dewey, Americaâs preeminent philosopher of education. Edited by a multidisciplinary team with a wide range of perspectives and experience, this volume will serve as a state-of-the-art reference to the hugely consequential implications of Deweyâs work for education and schooling in the 21st century. Organized around a series of concentric circles ranging from the purposes of education to appropriate policies, principles of schooling at the organizational and administrative level, and pedagogical practice in Deweyan classrooms, the chapters will connect Deweyâs theoretical ideas to their pragmatic implications.

"A timely corrective to the polarized social and professional environments we now find ourselves in, particularly in schools, this book's 22 essays address a wide range of matters, including mindfulness, feminism, miseducation, teacher (mis)education, and digital technologies, among many others, unified by a close and critical reading of Deweyâs work...teachers would do well to keep this book of wise and engaging essays on hand as a ready reference guide for their most important work." - T.
