Some of THE best articles - in my opinion - on The Open Education Era, 1960s/1970s

Hey, teachers and those interested in the current, prevailing challenges to public education that I have referred to regularly in my blog.......

I've just been sorting through all of my papers and have put together some really good articles on teaching and learning from the 1960s and 1970s.

I'm going to catalogue them as soon as I can and will put the list on my blog.

IF anyone is interested, for research or just would like to know how good the teaching and learning processes were, please email me and I will send you any copies you would like to read. Oh, I also could lend anyone a copy of Yesterday I found, an account of a UK teacher's classroom work in the 1960s.

The first article in my list with be the widely circulated Joseph Featherstone's articles in The New Republic.

OK, as soon as I have had yet another cup of tea, I will start sorting out the papers.........
