Trends: Progressive Education Then And Now

EdConnections Posted by Dan S. Martin
Speaking of the forties, the tug between traditional and progressive education models is not a new one in America.  Nor is the instinct for education reform.  Is project-based instruction today's progressive education?  Just what is progressive education in 2011?  Is it compatible with the accountability movement?  Has the traditional model of education won out?  Is technology part of the answer?  Where to from here?  Or, as asked in previous posts, what exactly do we want from our schools?

The footage below is seven minutes of "the more things change, the more they remain the same!"

"The world is moving at a tremendous rate.  No one knows where.  We must prepare our children not for the world of the past, not for our world, but for their world. 
The world of the future."  --John Dewey
