The progressive ideology and methods are clearly the prominent choice in our schools today. They are often linked to the name of John Dewey. Over the years many educational leaders have misunderstood and therefore grossly exaggerated Dewey's ideas into nothing he would have intended. In generic, layman's terms, Norman Dale Norris discusses how the progressive movement came about and how the ideas are practiced today, some of which are less than desirable. Norris is sympathetic and supportive of the progressive ideology and offers suggestions for success.
The Promise and Failure of Progressive Education will interest teachers, teacher trainers, central office and building administrators, university faculty, educational leaders, and policy makers.
Norman Dale Norris is an assistant professor of education at Nicholls State University (Thibodeaux, Louisiana) where he teaches graduate courses in research, foundations, and school administration. Additionally, he continues to advocate for the arts by teaching undergraduate courses in music education.
Norris has worked in public education for more than twenty years as a choral director at all levels, classroom teacher, teacher trainer, and university professor. As an passionate advocate for the performing arts he prepared many award winning choral ensembles over the years.
