Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a fascinating glimpse into the revolutionary teaching methods of Colonel Francis W. Parker, a prominent educator of the late 19th century. The author delves into Parker's life, tracing his journey from a young boy with a passion for teaching to a war veteran who ultimately dedicated himself to reforming American education. The book explores Parker's "Quincy System," a radical departure from traditional rote learning that emphasized the development of the whole child ââ â body, mind, and soul ââ â through engaging and experiential learning. Parker's ideas, grounded in the principles of Comenius, Pestalozzi, and Froebel, challenged the rigid structures of the time, advocating for a more holistic and child-centered approach to education. Through detailed descriptions of Parker's methods, the book offers a valuable historical perspective on the evolution of educational philosophy and practice, highlighting the enduring significance of Parker's contributions to progressive education.
