On the Horns of a Dilemma: Deweyan Progressivism and English Teacher Education
Tremmel, Robert
English Education, v42 n2 p121-147 Jan 2010
English teacher educators' commitment to Deweyan progressivism has cost them in recent years. It has contributed to their being pushed to the margins when it comes to serious, top-level discussions about the direction of American education. This essay reexamines the case for progressivism and its relevance as an element of CEE's ongoing effort to reinterpret itself since the 2005 CEE Summit.
