Explore the Foundations of Education
in Chicago
EDU: 205 Block 8 ~ April 15 - May 8 2013
The astonishing Chicago - a city where
they are always rubbing the lamp, and
fetching up the genie, and contriving
and achieving new impossibilities.
-Mark Twain, Life on the Mississippi,
1883
The child becomes largely what it is
taught; hence we must watch what
we teach it, and how we live before
it. ~ Jane Addams, Twenty Years at
Hull House, 1910
The conception of
education as a social
process and function
has no definite meaning
until we define the kind
of society we have in
mind. ~ John Dewey,
Democracy and Education
(1916)
The work of a teacher -- exhausting, complex, idiosyncratic,
never twice the same -- is at its heart, an intellectual and ethical
enterprise...It is an activity that is intensely practical and yet
transcendent, brutally matter-of-fact, and yet fundamentally a
creative act. ~ Bill Ayers, To Teach, 2001
