Designing Democratic Schools and Learning Environments : A Global Perspective Hardback
Edited by Linda F. Nathan, Jonathan F. Mendonca, Gustavo Rojas Ayala
Hardback
Description
This open access book explores democratic schools and learning environments globally.
The book focuses on a newly developed framework for democratic education.
The authors describe existing schools and concept schools—those that are ideas but not in operation.
The first section includes the editors’ own journeys.
Pillar 1 includes schools that emphasize the open flow of ideas and choices, regardless of their popularity.
Pillar 2 maintains that it is impossible to have a high quality education that ignores equity.
Chapters explore how many diverse ‘marginalized’ communities experience education and some innovations that hold great promise for inclusion.
Pillar 3 provides examples of schools where active engagement, consensus and compromise support the ‘common good.’ Pillar 4 investigates schools which organize students, parents, social institutions and the larger community collaboratively to achieve its goals and to solve theirs and society’s most urgent challenges.
