Synopsis

The second edition of "Schools of Tomorrow," Schools of Today : Progressive Education in the 21st Century documents a new collection of child-centered progressive schools founded in the first half of the twentieth century and provides histories of some contemporary examples of progressive practices. Part I discusses six progressive schools founded in the first part of the twentieth century (City and Country ; Dalton ; the Weekday School at Riverside Church ; The Laboratory School at the Institute of Child Study ; Alabama State Teachers College Laboratory High School ; and Highlander), tracing them from their beginnings. Part II examines four more contemporary schools (Central Park East 1 ; Central Park East Secondary ; Learning Community Charter School ; and KIPP TEAM Academy), showing how progressive practices gained momentum from the 1960s onward. As a volume in the History of Schools and Schooling series, this book seeks to look to the past for what it can teach us today.
