Progressive Education in Practice

Drawing on over two decades of experience in American education, this book examines the structural and moral tensions faced by teachers and school leaders, emphasizing that burnout is often a signal of deeper institutional contradictions. It advocates for addressing these issues through honest dialogue, critical participation, and intentional leadership that supports reflection and moral steadiness. While challenging the status quo, the author offers a hopeful call for systemic change, urging education institutions to realign policies and practices with democratic values.
