  1. Education is life itself… (Dewey 1938)

  2. I cannot teach anybody anything. I can only make them think. Questioning is the beginning of wisdom. ~ Socrates ~

  3. Joseph Schwab • Believed the only hope for curriculum is for energies to be directed away from “theoretic pursuits” and towards a practical model • Any discussion of curriculum - of what we should be teaching - needs to seriously consider the real needs and abilities of all four characteristic participants (equally ranked) in any educational encounter • Called for a team effort using the four commonplaces for learning as a base

  4. Schwab’s Four CommonPlaces: • Curriculum (subject matter) • Teachers • Students • Milieu (setting or context)

  5. Curriculum What do we teach? (What can we learn?) • Teachers Who are we as teachers? (Who am I as a learner?) • Students How do we teach? (How do I best learn?) • Milieu Where do we teach? (What is the learning environment like?) Field Experiences: How can we use Schwab’s Commonplaces as a way to focus and guide our inquiry into our own teaching practice in the field?

  6. Dewey • Positions learner in the center • Rest of the three commonplaces around the learner • Set a demanding role for teachers to design and provide a healthy milieu for the child to learn

  7. Teaching and learning is a continuous process of reconstruction and experience. (Dewey 1938)

  8. What do we want students to … • KNOW? • DO? • BE LIKE?
