The Child and the Curriculum - Large Print Edition

by John Dewey

Overview

John Dewey had particular ideas about what would work when teaching children in a classroom setting, and in this very short, but very important book, he lays out his thoughts on the subject.

This is the basis for hands-on learning, and helping students to relate the subject matter to their prior experiences in order to gain a deeper understanding of what they're learning.

Essential reading for all teachers who work with children, and recommended for anyone interested in how education works. As relevant today as it was when it was first published back in 1902.

This Large Print Edition is presented in easy-to-read 16 point type.
