The book asks readers to adopt a critical and comprehensive view of
education (pre-K to lifelong learning) as existing both within
classroom walls, and in the surrounding world, including
communities and workplaces. It presents an integrated view of
online learning, community schools, communiversities, and learning
through work. Our educational systems are organized in ways that
make this integration difficult. We have elaborate systems of
formal instruction--academies, schools, universities, and training
institutes--all to facilitate learning within the walls. At the
same time we have ample opportunities for learning in the wild.
Unfortunately these systems diverge to the point that they do
little to support learning that allows us to draw from both of the
realms of knowledge. But it is possible to bring together learning
within the walls with that beyond the walls. Moreover it is crucial
to make these connections in the world of today. In order to bring
together the classroom and daily life we need an educational system
that does that as well.The book provides a coherent account of how
schooling can and should relate to learning beyond the classroom
walls.
