Recurring Themes in Education Book

This book explores six recurring educational themes, which each generation of educators needs to address. It is about finding quality ways forward in relation to these central themes, which honour the past without being constrained by it. During this century, Froebel's philosophy has had a deep and enduring impact on British education. This book is not concerned with returning to a past golden era when Froebelian philosophy flourished. Instead, it provides a forward looking and up-to-date perspective in relation to Froebel's principles.Each theme begins with a quotation from Froebel's writing, and an introduction to articles selected from the Early Childhood Archive and the National Froebel Foundation Archive. The articles are followed by a commentary on the theme, referring to the archive material and placing it in a contemporary context.Read More
