Product Description : A perennial challenge for educators writes Nessel is one that Plato addressed in The Republic how to avoid simply feeding students information and instead get them to use their innate capacities and think for themselves The solution Nessel says is not to impose a specific curriculum or method of instruction on everyone but to think creatively about the individual situations of students in order to improve conditions for learning In this book she presents a range of perspectives on schools teaching and learning from writers as diverse as Leo Tolstoy Howard Gardner and Elaine Landau all concerned with the development of inquiring minds and critical thinking abilities
