• W328526812 abstract "Teachers, Leaders, and Schools: Essays by John Dewey Edited by Douglas J. Simpson & Sam F. Stack, Jr. Simplification is a part of human nature like categorization or modification. It is what we do when we encounter other ideas, knowledge, and behaviors. We break them down, analyze, outline, and prioritize to try to make them meet our own needs. And so it has always been with work of John Dewey. To his chagrin, his ideas and writings have been simplified, explained, and adapted in order to be seen as the justification for or the problem with new, modified, or reformed educational or social systems or programs. Not so with Simpson and Stack, who state from the outset that Dewey's writing and ideas are very complex and open to interpretation and misinterpretation, application and misapplication, credit and blame. It is to John Dewey's credit and his genius that his ideas are still so important so long after his death. In looking at the many ways that Dewey has affected education and society, Simpson and Stack have tried to produce a selection of Dewey's essays that speak to the needs of educators and those who wish to understand the place of the educational institution in American society. The sections are not written for individual audiences but for the overall understanding of the reader. Thus, the parent, teacher, administrator, superintendent, professor, or politician can get a grounded view of Dewey's ideas about education as he believed it should be practiced. To this end, they have divided the writings into sections dealing with teachers, curriculum, leadership, the ideal school, and democratic society and provided the sections with introductory remarks that assist the reader with necessary foundation information. Simpson and Stack have noted that Dewey's vision included teachers as well-educated, reflective, professionals with high morals, character, compassion, and sympathy who are called to the profession and believe that the process and goal of education are one and the same (Simpson & Stack, pp. 19-20. All page citations are to Simpson and Stack's introductory essays). It is the job of colleges and universities, realizing that teaching can be an idiosyncratic endeavor, to provide teachers with pedagogical expertise, psychological insight, and theoretical understanding to supplement the teachers' personal attributes yielding a unification of the science and art of teaching. (Simpson & Stack, p. 21) The curriculum that teachers use has become overly standardized, overly competitive, and overly assessed with benchmarks, standards, and rankings. Dewey would desire that schools have a curriculum rich in imagination, cooperation, and qualitative value. The curriculum favored in most school districts is formal and external to the student, tied to quantitative assessment of knowledge acquired, skills developed, and learning activities completed with little or no desire to accommodate the psychological, interest, abilities, aptitudes, aesthetic, or moral/ethical, needs of students, or to provide for the creative application of intelligence. Dewey would favor an interest and inquiry driven, community based curriculum. Life--and school--are learning laboratories, and students need to know how to experiment, to ask questions, and to seek understanding if not resolution (Simpson & Stack, p. 69). Dewey desired education and society to be highly democratic, not dominated by hierarchical interests of any type. To this end Simpson and Stack identify his goals for school leaders: (1) to view the school as an organic whole, (2) to recognize the necessity to adapt schools to the needs of individual students, (3) to provide interaction, commingling, and suffusing of the content, methodology and administration, and (4) to work to construct and adapt conditions and environments that will develop the kind of individuality which is intelligently alive to the common life and sensitively loyal to its common maintenance (Simpson & Stack, pp. …" @default.
