Quaker Education In Theory And Practice

By Howard Haines Brinton and Howard H. Brinton

Book Overview

Quaker Education In Theory And Practice is a book written by Howard H. Brinton that provides a comprehensive overview of the Quaker approach to education. The book explores the history of Quaker education, from its origins in the 17th century to the present day, and examines the key principles and values that underpin the Quaker approach to teaching and learning. Brinton discusses the importance of community, equality, and simplicity in Quaker education, and how these values are reflected in the curriculum, teaching methods, and school culture. He also explores the role of spirituality and religion in Quaker education, and how Quaker schools aim to nurture the whole person, including their intellectual, emotional, and spiritual development.The book includes case studies of Quaker schools and their approaches to education, as well as practical advice for educators who wish to incorporate Quaker principles into their own teaching practice. Brinton argues that Quaker education offers a unique and valuable alternative to traditional educational models, and that it has much to offer to anyone interested in creating a more just, equitable, and compassionate society.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
