SUMMARY

What should schools and universities be teaching about democracy?"This is the one book on education to read now. Provocative essays launch critical issues that are widely ignored in the standard 'education reform' and 'character education' literatures. John Goodlad and his colleagues continue to push the boundaries of what it can mean to have public schools in democracy. Ecological understanding is brought, at last, to the forefront of thinking about education such that democratic character and our tenuous democratic experiment cannot be comprehended without it."-Walter Parker, professor of education, University of Washington"Thoughtful and thought provoking, Developing Democratic Character in the Young reminds us that one of the most important reasons for public education is to preserve and strengthen our democracy."-Anne L. Bryant, executive director, National School Boards Association" 'Freedom can be won, but democracy must be learned' is an often-heard lament among patriots in the newly independent former communist states in Eastern Europe. By the same logic, maintaining democracy also hinges on learning and our public schools. Developing Democratic Character in the Young points to promising directions for achieving the key mission of America's society and public schools."-Adam Urbanski, president, Rochester (N.Y.) Teachers Association, and a vice president of the American Federation of Teachers"This book articulates how educators can help make the connections of community to the school in a relevant and authentic way. Developing Democratic Character in the Young deserves the thoughtful attention of educational theorists, practitioners, and policymakers."-Viola E. Florez, professor and dean, College of Education, University of New MexicoSoder, Roger is the author of 'Developing Democratic Character in the Young', published 2001 under ISBN 9780787956851 and ISBN 0787956856.
