This piece offers insights into the importance of teaching from where students are at in their own journeys of becoming, which may require that teacher educators broaden their worldviews and open up possibilities for new praxis, particularly in terms of interculturality.","PeriodicalId":41440,"journal":{"name":"Schools-Studies in Education","volume":"19 1","pages":"432 - 444"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2022-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44193493","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Our present system of education contradicts this axiom by stressing preponderantly a single field of application. Instead of extending our milieu, as the primitive man was forced to do, combining as he did in one person hunter, craftsman, builder, physician, etc., we concern ourselves only with one definite occupation—leaving unused other faculties. Tradition and the voice of authority intimidate man today. He no longer dares to venture into certain fields of experience. He becomes a man of one calling; he no longer has first-hand experience elsewhere. In constant struggle with his instincts, he is overpowered by outside knowledge. His self-assurance is lost. He no longer dares to be his own physician, not even his own eye. The specialists—like members of a powerful secret society—obscure the road to all-sided individual experiences, the possibility for which exists in his normal functions, and the need for which arises from the center of his being. Today, the accent lies on the sharpest possible definition of the single vocation, on the building up of specialized faculties; the “market demand” is the guide. Thus aman becomes a locksmith or a lawyer or an architect or the like (working inside a closed sector of his faculties) and is at best a happy exception if, after he has finished his studies, he strives to widen the field of his calling, if he aspires to expand his special sector. At this point our whole system of education has hitherto been found wanting—notwithstanding all our vocational guidance, psychological testing, measurement of intelligence. Everything functions—and functions","PeriodicalId":41440,"journal":{"name":"Schools-Studies in Education","volume":"19 1","pages":"420 - 428"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2022-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42411841","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Modern education often places little emphasis on such play and work: standards-based programs and projects absorb every moment of the school day, often requiring even more time than is available. Yet allowing children to play with the curriculum engages them without anxiety, gives them ownership, and calls forth serious endeavor—inviting students with a wide variety of interests, proclivities, challenges, and gifts. When teachers stop to observe and describe this play, they can use the insights gained to strengthen their practice and extend what is taught and learned, often beyond what the standards require. This article offers three brief stories from the public school practice of a teacher who did her teacher education at Prospect, collaborated with others through Summer Institutes, and worked with Pat throughout her graduate work. The stories reveal a practice rooted in a valuing of children and their capacities that honor Pat’s legacy, her values and the ways these shaped educational practice at the Prospect School. It explicates how understanding the phenomenological philosophy underlying the descriptive processes gives observational knowledge a trustable place in daily decisions. The article ends with examining the challenges of giving children ownership of their work in today’s classrooms as well as ways it can create openings for adults and children throughout a school. Most importantly it holds the importance of each child’s belief in their own place in today’s schools as the core to joyful expression and resilience.","PeriodicalId":41440,"journal":{"name":"Schools-Studies in Education","volume":"19 1","pages":"40 - 49"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2022-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48156203","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Through the example of Reflection on a Word, I discuss the collaborative nature of descriptive processes and the purposes of reflective conversation.
