This is the book we've all been waiting for: a vision of what schools can do to guide children to become happy and engaged learners, productive and creative workers, and active, caring citizens., In Loving Learning, Tom Little and Katherine Ellison take us on a pilgrimage, bound for a truthful place in the midst of the fog of war that surrounds our current discourse on American education. Equipped with the keen eye, the willing spirit, the curious mind, and the open heart that made him a transformative educator and a remarkable man, Tom [or 'Little'] guides us along the stations of a journey aimed to discover, recover, and reaffirm, among so much noise and obscurity, the steadily burning flame of Progressive Education, the most profound, the most far-reaching, and the most truly American of educational movements. This will be an important and even a necessary book for educators, policy makers, and parents alike; even more, I think--and this is the true measure of Tom Little's legacy--it will be a source of reassurance and strength., Tom Little is a visionary champion of progressive education at a time when American children are more in need of its enlightened methods than ever. His book is provocative, educational, and full of wisdom and heart., A rich overview... the authors eloquently present the progressive principle of integrated, student-centered learning., In Loving Learning, Tom Little and Katherine Ellison take us on a pilgrimage, bound for a truthful place in the midst of the fog of war that surrounds our current discourse on American education. ...This will be an important and even a necessary book for educators, policy-makers and parents alike; but even more, I think--and this is the true measure of Tom Little's legacy--it will be a source of reassurance and strength.

Synopsis
Noted educator Tom Little and Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Katherine Ellison reveal the home-grown solution to turning American students into life-long learners., The longtime head of Park Day School, Tom Little embarked on a tour of 43 progressive schools across the country. In this book, his life's work, he interweaves his teaching experience, the knowledge he gleaned from his trip, and the history of Progressive Education. As Little and Katherine Ellison reveal, these educators and schools invigorate learning and promote inquisitiveness by allowing the curriculum to grow organically out of children's questions--whether they lead to studying the senses, working on a farm, or re-creating a desert ecosystem in the classroom. We see curious students draw on information across disciplines to think in imaginative yet practical ways, like in a "Mini-Maker Faire" or designing and building a chair from scratch. Becoming good citizens was another of Little's goals. He believed in the need for students to learn how to become advocates for themselves, from setting rules on the playground to engaging in issues of social justice in the wider community. Using the philosophy of Progressive Education, schools can prepare students to shape a vibrant future in the arts and sciences for themselves and the nation.
