Designed specifically for teachers and education students, with carefully selected articles, lectures, and book chapters covering Dewey's major ideas.

This John Dewey reader was designed specifically for teachers, teacher educators, and education students. Using carefully selected articles, lectures, book chapters, and other brief writings from Dewey's collected works, it covers major concepts and ideas from his extensive research and reflections on education and teaching. The twenty-five readings were carefully chosen for their accessibility and their continuing relevance to the work of classroom teachers and other school-based practitioners. To enhance its usefulness, the book contains a glossary of Deweyan terms, summaries for each reading, a selective annotated bibliography, and an index. Instead of merely encountering Dewey's views secondhand, this volume empowers readers to access and explore primary sources in a user-friendly way.

Reviews for John Dewey: A Reader for Teachers and Education Students

""This is an excellent collection of selected works by Dewey that would be great for both undergraduate and graduate students. As a Dewey scholar, I'm familiar with almost all of the works included, but there are lovely surprises too. Dewey scholars would very much enjoy this collection."" — Deron Boyles, Georgia State University, co-author of The Politics of Inquiry: Education Research and the ""Culture of Science"" ""The selections are excellent. They cover the full range of the development of Dewey's philosophy of education over time, from his early idealism to his later pragmatism. The author's introductory materials are extensive, accurate, and well crafted. They offer the reader an excellent overview of the materials. Together with the extensive glossary they provide a basic guide to the material for those who may be unfamiliar with the readings."" — Larry A. Hickman, Emeritus and Former Director of the Center for Dewey Studies, Southern Illinois University Carbondale ""In John Dewey: A Reader for Teachers and Education Students, David Granger has masterfully curated a set of short texts that convey—with both breadth and depth—Dewey's impact on all things teaching and learning—from purposes to practices to principles for living, learning, and earning. I recommend this collection as a required text for all candidates in teacher education programs, offering students a Deweyan perspective at each moment in their development as teachers."" — Barbara Stengel, Professor Emerita, Peabody College, Vanderbilt University
