Items related to Adventures in Education
Many people believe that the history of educational progress can be found in the pages of Hansard. Adventures in Education argues forcefully that legislation follows, rather than leads the pioneers. Willem van der Eyken and Barry Turner tell the stories of some of the pioneers who fought against the odds, to inject fresh ideas into the educational system after 1914 - of Magnus Pyke and Susan Isaacs with their famous Malting House School; of Henry Morris, who pioneered the Cambridgshire Village Colleges; of the Burston School strike, of the Forest School, inspired by the work of Ernest Westlake; and of the revolutionary work in arts and crafts of Marion Richardson and Robin Tanner. Their stories are based on the recollections of those who actually took part in these 'adventures', on many unpublished documents written at the time, and on letters, pamphlets and reports that have since passed into obscurity. They form a fascinating tribute to the early fighters in a battle that is still going on for freedom and creativity in education.
