Progressive Education: Why it's Hard to Beat, But Also Hard to Find

If progressive education doesn’t lend itself to a single fixed definition, that seems
fitting in light of its reputation for resisting conformity and standardization. Any two
educators who describe themselves as sympathetic to this tradition may well see it
differently, or at least disagree about which features are the most important.
Talk to enough progressive educators, in fact, and you’ll begin to notice certain
paradoxes: Some people focus on the unique needs of individual students, while others invoke the importance of a community of learners; some describe learning as a
process, more journey than destination, while others believe that tasks should result
in authentic products that can be shared.
