Progressive Rhetoric and Curriculum

Contested Visions of Public Education in Interwar Ontario

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Progressive Rhetoric: Imagining Schools for a Modern Age in Interwar Ontario considers the ways that progressivist ideas and rhetoric shaped early curriculum and structural changes to Ontario's public schools. Through a series of case studies, conceptual analyses, and personal reflections from the field, this volume shows how post-WWI era debates around progressive education were firmly situated within political, economic, social and intellectual evolutions in the province and beyond.
