Designing Democratic Schools and Learning Environments
A Global Perspective
About this book
This open access book explores democratic schools and learning environments globally. The book focuses on a newly developed framework for democratic education. The authors describe existing schools and concept schoolsāthose that are ideas but not in operation. The first section includes the editors' own journeys. Pillar 1 includes schools thatemphasize the open flow of ideas and choices, regardless of their popularity. Pillar 2 maintains thatit is impossible to have a high quality education that ignores equity. Chapters explore how many diverse 'marginalized' communities experience education and some innovations that hold great promise for inclusion. Pillar 3 provides examples of schools whereactive engagement, consensus and compromise support the 'common good.' Pillar 4 investigates schools which organize students, parents, social institutions and the larger community collaboratively to achieve its goals and to solve theirs and society's most urgent challenges.
