Description: The International Handbook of Progressive Education engages contemporary debates about the purpose of education, presenting diverse ideas developed within a broadly conceived progressive education movement.
Review Quotes: Ultimately, this is a sprawling tome with many things of interest and, as an historian, I particularly enjoyed the earlier chapters which sought to identify solutions to the present from those found within the past. Other readers will no doubt find their own interests satisfied elsewhere. What can be said however is that, whilst an academic read, it is an optimistic one and there is much here for the scholar, student and practitioner to suggest that the spirit of Dewey and the progressive tradition can be kept alive. In the current educational climate, this surely remains an essential priority.
