Examines the kinds of school structures and educational practices
that nurture the development of young people as public, democratic
citizens.
Education for Public Democracy identifies two competing
traditions of American democracy and citizenship: a dominant,
privately-oriented citizenship tradition and an alternative
tradition of public democratic citizenship. Based on the second
tradition, public democracy, the author outlines a set of qualities
an effective democratic citizen must possess, as well as a number
of ideal school practices that promote these qualities in young
people. This discussion provides a framework for analyzing two
democratic urban alternative high schools.
The book provides an essential bridge between democratic theory
and promising school practices that promote public democratic
citizenship. Its insights will be indispensable to teachers, school
administrators, teacher educators, and theorists who seek to
recreate American education in the service of a revitalized
democracy.
