Early Childhood Jewish Education explores some of the fundamental
questions of early childhood Jewish education in today's societal,
moral, and educational debates. The book examines the challenges of
transmitting Jewish heritage using developmentally appropriate
pedagogy in the context of modern democratic society through the
lenses of multiculturalism, gender awareness, and constructivism.
Researchers from Israel and the United States consider some of the
core Jewish foundational subjects, including teaching the Bible,
holidays and ceremonies, Hebrew, Jewish literature, and
spirituality, as well as leadership issues in relation to these
contemporary debates. The book represents the ongoing collaboration
of leading researchers from Israel and the United States who have
worked together since 2010 as the International Research Group on
Jewish Education in the Early Years.
This challenging and provocative book reimagines the justification,
substance, process, and study of education in open, pluralistic,
liberal democratic societies. Hanan Alexander argues that educators
need to enable students to embark on a quest for intelligent
spirituality, while paying heed to a pedagogy of difference.
Through close analysis of the work of such thinkers as William
James, Charles Taylor, Elliot Eisner, Michael Oakeshott, Isaiah
Berlin, Martin Buber, Michael Apple and Terrence McLaughlin,
Reimagining Liberal Education offers an account of school
curriculum and moral and religious instruction that throws new
light on the possibilities of a nuanced, rounded education for
citizenship. Divided into three parts - Transcendental Pragmatism
in Educational Research, Pedagogy of Difference and the Other Face
of Liberalism, and Intelligent Spirituality in the Curriculum, this
is a thrilling work of philosophy that builds upon the author's
award-winning text Reclaiming Goodness: Education and the Spiritual
Quest.
