Reimagining American Education to Serve All Our Children: Why
Should We Educate in a Democracy? examines and reevaluates the
history and purpose of public education in the United States, in
order to provide students of current and future generations with a
robust and fulfilling learning experience. The authors approach
knowledge from a critical perspective, with the intention of
broadening the definition of knowledge and critical thinking,
positioning education as a gateway to life's endless possibilities
and participation in a democratic society. In asking "why should we
educate in a democracy rather than why do we educate in a
democracy," the authors suggest directions that need to be taken to
enhance democracy, social justice, and the positive effects of
education for all. Divided into ten concise chapters, this volume
provides activities and strategies for developing meaning for often
contentious concepts, illustrates concepts, and brings together new
ideas as well as assessment ideas. Greenblatt and Michelli and
their coauthors cover a diverse range of important topics allowing
us to understand education in a democracy, including:
Sociopolitical barriers to knowledge The importance of all
subjects, including the arts, health and physical education Methods
of fostering imaginative thinking The political nature of the
effects of policies on education Reimagining American Education to
Serve All Our Children aims to provide practicing teachers, teacher
educators, graduate education students-and all those interested in
enhancing education, a discussion on the relationship between
education and policy. A topical conversation, this book aids
readers to develop a better understanding of the effects of social
justice on American learners and the effects of education on social
justice and democracy in order to take a position on these critical
issues.
