Reviews

The literature on educational change can be divided into two camps. One camp focuses on big, broad ideas and visions for schools while the other is more practical, emphasizing instructional improvement and effective teaching. Finally, Lynn De Jonghe has bridged this gap, providing both a broad vision for schools based on the work of Alfred Whitehead, and practical guidance about what those big ideas might look like in real schools. An important and compelling contribution.--Kevin Fahey, Salem State University We have long known that the education of our children is critically important. Drawing on the revolutionary process-relational philosophy of Alfred North Whitehead and her years of experience, De Jonghe has written a book that helps us understand how best to educate people in an interconnected and ever-changing world and, just as importantly, how to put this understanding into practice.--Marcus Ford, Professor Emeritus, Northern Arizona University, Co-founder Flagstaff College www.FlagstaffCollege.education
