Think Dewey and progressivism are dead? Think again. Using  the history of 
education in the United States, Clinchy builds a  powerful and readable case 
that progressivism is the way to  goproviding concrete examples to show that it 
is doable and that it  offers a far richer conception of education than the 
vacuous and  punitive programs currently in place.
Gerald  Bracey, a fellow for the High/Scope Educational Research  Foundation 
Writing with insight and conviction about progressive  programs and schools 
that have made a difference, Clinchy delivers  the goods and provides both a 
vision and an imperative for the  schools our students need today. 
Susan  Ohanian, Senior Fellow, Vermont Society for the Study of  Education  
What would a truly democratic, functional, and educationally  productive 
system look like? How did we arrive at our current  system? How can an informed 
public work to reshape the system  equitably? How can educators partner with 
their broader communities?  In this provocative book, renowned expert Evans 
Clinchy shows how we  can revitalize American public education and build a new 
system that  will serve all children, rich and poor, foreign or native-born.  
Everyone who cares about public education should read this inspiring  book. 
Evans Clinchy is Senior Research Associate at  the Institute for Responsive 
Education in Cambridge, Massachusetts.  His books include Creating New Schools: 
How Small Schools Are  Changing American Education and Transforming Public  
Education: A New Course for Americas Future.
