To Know the Joy of Work Well Done: Place-Based Learning and Sustaining School Communities. By James Lewicki.
Digital Copy.
In this wonderful little book, James Lewicki offers a clear account of the great potential inherent in place-based pedagogy. His passionate, even tenacious, commitment to invigorating the intellectual life of his students illuminates the poverty of our current system - one premised on teaching as telling, curriculum as textbook, and assessment as standardized testing. As we march headlong into ever more complex social and ecological dilemmas, the educational hope of the nation lies with educators like Lewicki who can help teachers in classrooms everywhere shift from the artificial to the real.
-Paul Theobald, Woods-Beal Professor of Urban and Rural Education, Buffalo State College
