Synopsis

In this work, the author describes the programme he developed called "Unseen America", which takes students out of the classroom and enables them to connect what they are learning with problems at community, national, and international levels. Filled with examples of students engaged in meaningful social change, the book offers pragmatic solutions with useful tools that are ready for implementation, designed at low cost within the constraints of existing resources by the students themselves.

Quatrième de couverture

Escape from the Ivory Tower describes programs which take students out of the classroom to connect what they learn with issues of community, national, or international concern. The book details an experimental education approach that combines the best features of discussion and interaction, laboratory work and field learning, community involvement and service, democratic citizenship and skills training, and student–initiated participatory learning–– in courses, projects, and clinical work that open students′ eyes to worlds they do not know.
