Education for Liberal Democracy
"The book argues that the proper aim of civic education in schools is to shore up liberal democracy; shows how discussion can be the main dish, not a side dish, of classroom instruction; shows how classroom discussion develops voice, defined as the freedom to make and express un-coerced decisions, and disciplinary knowledge, defined as the knowledge that results from a public process of error-seeking, contestation, and validation; argues that students need to learn both disciplinary knowledge and voice if they are to take their place on the public stage and hold the 'office of citizen' in a liberal democracy; and finally, treats subject-centered and student-centered instruction as partners, not opponents"--
Teaching Democracy
In Teaching Democracy, Walter Parker makes a unique and thoughtful contribution to the hot debate between proponents of multicultural education and those who favor a cultural literacy approach. Parker conclusively demonstrates that educating for democratic citizenship in a multicultural society includes a fundamental respect for diversity. This scholarly yet accessible work: Bridges the widening gap between multicultural education and civic education; provides powerful teaching strategies that educators can use to draw children creatively and productively into a way of life that protects and nurtures cultural pluralism and racial equity; explains the unity, diversity confusion that is found in popular media as well as in multicultural- and citizenship-education initiatives; defines deliberative discussion and explores its promise as the centerpiece of democratic education in schools, both elementary and secondary.
