Contemporary political and socioeconomic conditions largely characterized by corruption and inequity have added new urgency to recurring calls for reorienting American public schools to their historic purpose: educating a citizenry both equipped and motivated to serve as the ultimate guardians of democracy. While the Founding Fathers, including Jefferson, as well as the founders of public schools, including Horace Mann, explicitly stated that rationale, perhaps no one has done more than John Dewey to detail the inextricable relationship between education and democratic society. In Moral Principles in Education and My Pedagogic Creed, Dewey reminds readers of public schools' original purpose, identifying specific educational principles and practices that either promote or undermine their essential democratic goals. &quote;There cannot be two sets of ethical principles,&quote; he says, &quote;one for life in the school, and the other for life outside of the school.&quote; In these works and through such caveats, Dewey offers readers both the motivation to engage in the struggle for a new emphasis on educating for democratic citizenship and the guidance necessary to translate his theory into effective practice. Perfect for coursessuch as: Philosophy of Education, Teaching Methods, Principles of Teachingand Learning, Education Policy, Education Leadership, Education Foundations, CurriculumTheory and History, Curriculum Design, The Philosophy of John Dewey, and SchoolChange/Reform.
