“The authors of Education for Everyone provide a
basic primer for why public schools are central to democracy
and how they need to change in order to fulfill their
historic purpose. Here is a compelling vision of what schools must
do to create a learning environment that will foster an educated
citizenry.”
—Anne Bryant, executive director, National School Boards
Association
“Education for Everyone tells the story of several
decades of work on educational renewal. In contrast to
‘reform’ movements that assume a universal problem
without diagnosi ng it, ‘renew al’ reminds us to think
again about the aims of education and how we might do better. This
is a powerful message.”
—Nel Noddings, author of Happiness and Education
“John Goodlad, Stephen Goodlad and Corinne Mantle-Bromley
remain pioneers in the field of democratic education. As theorists
who have applied their agenda to the real world of practical
education, and as educators who are deeply reflective about their
practical experience, they have become invaluable guides to
teachers, administrators and students alike —to all who
believe democracy and education are reciprocal arts and want to
know how best to marry them.”
—Benjamin R. Barber, author of Fear's Empire: War,
Terrorism, and Democracy in an Age of Interdependence and
Jihad vs. McWorld: Terrorism's Challenge to Democracy
