Why read this book? Good question
Perhaps it is because of a child born today. That child-your child, or perhaps an aspiring student-is destined to live into the 22nd century. Are we-educators, parents, society-providing him or her with the skill to survive and thrive? If the answer is yes, great. If no-why not? Dewey: A Reflection on the Inevitable is intended to start you on a personal path toward transformed thinking; to answer the question, “Why?”. The writers take you on a journey, challenging you to think about tomorrow. Regardless of your role-parent, educator, grandparent-they will confront you with the simple wonder of, “What if?” The book begins in 1938 as John Dewey presents his timeless philosophy that we learn best when our learning flows through what we experience. Dewey believed that there must be another way, a better way to provide children with learning opportunities. The authors summarize Dewey you, patterning each chapter after Dewey’s book, Experience and Education. Then the authors, writing independently, take you on a journey, passing through what is, to what might be, to what is inevitable, from 1938 to the theories of today.
