Child and the Curriculum

'The Child and the Curriculum' is a very insightful essay by John Dewey that displays a unique approach to the Child and the Curriculum. John Dewey understood that a child's development and learning styles had nothing to do with being rational or orderly, but that the child must learn in their current state of mind which is very different from an adult. This 1902 essay shows how children integrate educational experiences into a continuum of knowledge.This book explains the 'how' and the 'why' behind the importance of a curriculum that leaves room to explore, connect information, and for a child to experience the world around them through learning. Learn how to honor the individual, and watch as the student and the subject matter come together in a beautiful process that will produce a mature adult.John Dewey: 1859-1952, Educator and Philosopher.
