| Summary |
"Democratic Practices in Education: Implications for Teacher Education presents the findings of eleven teacher educators as they examine the meaning of democracy and its application to classroom practice. There is a shared belief among all the contributors to this volume: that incorporating democratic practice into teacher education is an essential requirement to introducing democratic practices in K-12 classrooms. The contributors also believe that a democratic society requires education that's compatible with democracy." "Democratic Practices in Education will promote debate and stimulate interest, understanding, and competence in the development of democratic practices at all levels of schooling for teachers and teacher educators."--BOOK JACKET |
