Description

Educational Innovators: Profiles from the American Past

At a recent panel presentation in Burlington, Vermont, public school teachers and students discussed the innovative projects that they were engaged in at the elementary, middle, and high school levels. After they were asked how they found the energy and motivation to create these projects, particularly during a global pandemic, one teacher explained that while they are not superheroes, they are rebellious. In my talk I will explore that rebellious spirit in educators from the past: the teachers and students of the Eagleswood School at the utopian Raritan Bay Union in the 1850s, the community involved in John Dewey’s Laboratory School at the turn of the twentieth century, and the Black teachers connected to the educational networks created by Carter G. Woodson and others in Jim Crow America.

Presented by Anne Durst, Associate Professor, Educational Foundations.
