Dewey's Democracy and Education Revisited focuses on democratic
schools/democratic education and the work of teacher and leader
practitioners in the new millennium, taking into consideration the
complex and dynamic nature of preparing leaders for changing roles
in schools amidst the challenges of standards and accountability,
the No Child Left Behind Act, licensure/certification issues,
increasing diversity, issues of social justice, shifting
demographics, and the myriad of social issues that make democratic
leadership necessary. The book presents a collection of
contemporary discourses that reconsider the relationship of
democracy as a political ideology and American ideal (i.e., Dewey's
progressivist ideas) and education as the foundation of preparing
democratic citizens in America. Jenlink takes the reader into a
reflective and critical examination of Dewey's ideas on democratic
education, set forth in the classic philosophy text, Democracy and
Education. Each chapter draws the reader into a discussion of the
salient and relevant points Dewey argued, and juxtaposes Dewey's
points with the issues challenging educators today, in particular
focusing on the challenge of fostering democratic education and
leadership for America's schools.
