Will more civics instruction help? In Can Schools Save Democracy? Michael J. Feuer offers a new approach to addressing these questions with a strategy for improving the process and substance of civic education. Although schooling alone cannot save democracy, it must play a part. Feuer introduces a framework for educator preparation that emphasizes collective action, experiential learning, and partnerships between schools and their complex constituencies. His proposed reform aims to equip teachers with an appreciation of the paradoxes of pluralism - in particular, the tensions between individual choice and social outcomes. And he offers practical suggestions for how to bring those concepts to life so that students in and out of the classroom acquire the skills, knowledge, and dispositions for enlightened democratic leadership. Adopting a definition of public education that celebrates the engagement between schools and their environments, Feuer argues for reinforced partnerships within the education system and between educators and their diverse constituents. He anticipates new collaborations between education faculty and their colleagues in the behavioral, social, and physical sciences and humanities; stronger links between schools and their complex outside environments; and improved mechanisms for global cooperation. Can Schools Save Democracy? includes lively examples of how theoretical principles can inform familiar problems and offers a hopeful path for progress toward a stronger democracy"--cProvided by publisher. 0aCivicsxStudy and teachingzUnited States. 4aEducación cívica xEnseñanzazEstados Unidos 917869 0aDemocracy and educationzUnited States. 4aEducación y democraciazEstados Unidos 91067 0aCommon good. 4aBien común 927052  a7bcbccorignewd1eecipf20gy-gencatlg  2lcccBK  icmc  c125612d125612  00102lcc40708HUaBJBbBJBcHUd2025-10-27l0oLC 1091 F423c 2023p00000196751r2025-10-27 16:21:00t1w2025-10-27yBK
