SS PDEY cosy tS ou oly pital 4S jal 85 9 oS ph BS ably by Gul vitly Als 3 § ucla gil 0316-4962025 0313-0905455 raged about whether teachers should be tasked with preparing students to conform or to actively push for progress and improvement where they are necessary. These same debates continue today with real implications for education policy. Dewey remains one of our clearest voices on the argument that the classroom ought to be seen as an important locus of social change. For present and future teachers, it’s one thing to appreciate Dewey’s views on education and social change and quite another to create a classroom envitonment that embodies them. So, how can teachers build real classrooms that exemplify Dewey's idgals.for education in society? Here are a few ideas: * ~~ > 1.

Prepare Students to expect the need for change and to believe in their own ability totake positive steps for the benefit of society. One step teachers can take to encourage students to play a part in larger societal improvement is to create a classroom where they’re given the responsibility and authority to make some significant decisions. If teachers have all the answers, it’s implied that students are expected to receive knowledge, not offer solutions or improvements. But if teachers make it clear that, especially when it comes to the big questions we all face, even those in authority don’t know it all, then students have more room to rely on their own cognitive powers and problem-solving skills.

Dewey noted that if we want our education systems to benefit the larger c: a healthy democratic society, then it’s important that we keep democracy as a central “frame of reference” in our classrooms. Too often, he adds, we forget that participating in a democracy is a skill that needs to be honed in our daily lives.

Problems of Teacher Education 1. Absence of Practical Policy & Standards: To date, all teacher-training programs are operating without a viable policy framework. The government is aware of this vacuum yet it has not taken any concrete steps to implement a policy to bring all teaching programs under a single umbrella.
