Book Description
Excerpt from Francis W. Parker School Studies in Education, Vol. 8 Recent scientific investigation and research in educational fields has enabled teachers to measure the intelligence of children more accurately, to evaluate school subject matter better, and to test some kinds of school achievement. For such help we must be profoundly grateful; but there is some danger, it seems to me, of swinging too far in this direction, of allowing the mere gather ing of data to engross too much of the precious time of children. Moreover, in too many schools both teachers and children seem so concerned in getting control of tools that they have little time to use them constructively or for creative purposes. More than ever we need to keep our vision clear to the value of those elements in life and education which cannot be measured and which give to us all, big and little, the highest aspiration and inspiration, which create in us standards of taste and attitudes toward life which go far in protecting us from ugliness and sordidness in our environ ment. We believe that a study of such material as we cite tends to make us realize that creative expression is fundamental to the child's fullest development, to his happiness and his spiritual growth. All normal children have the right to live in a rich environment, to exercise to the full all their powers of expression, and to have every avenue to their souls open and in use. Not everyone can contribute to the permanent beauty of the world, but it is the privilege of every school to create conditions which should arouse each child to express freely in some chosen form his own best ideas, inspirations, and emotions.

The Progressive Legacy
Author: Marie Kirchner StonePublisher: Peter Lang Incorporated, International Academic Publishers
ISBN: 9780820433967
Category : Progressive education
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
Beginning in 1901, this history traces the pioneering progressive origins of the Francis W. Parker School of Chicago to its neoprogressive vision for the twenty-first century. It is the story of the school's evolution from the founding years (1901-1930), through the Eight-Year Study and the postwar innovations (1930-1965), to the progressive challenge (1965-1995). The story closes as the school is being reconceptualized and the building reconstructed. This book explains the interrelationship of three of Chicago's education progressives - John Dewey, the philosopher; Colonel Francis W. Parker, the father of progressive education; and Anita McCormick Blaine, the financier and visionary. Several themes shaping the school unify the text: (1) the influence of psychology on educational practice; (2) the centrality of the teacher and instruction in the school; (3) the value of a model upon which to build curriculum; and (4) the interdependent relationship between democracy and education. The fourth theme is as applicable to the multicultural Chicago of today as it was in the 1900s. Marie Kirchner Stone uses Colonel Parker's purpose of the common school - «to create citizens for a democratic society» - as the yardstick to measure the value of progressive education in today's democracy.
