Experiencing Dewey (2^nd Ed.) Insights for Today's Classrooms Kappa Delta Pi Co-Publications Series

Experiencing Dewey: Insights for Today?s Classroom offers an inspiring introduction to one of the most seminal figures in the field of education.

Quotes and responses are kept deliberately brief as an effective way of inviting readers to reflect on and experience Dewey.
