Letter to Educators

Rethinking Educational Purpose in the History of Education
  • Curry Stephenson Malott
Part of the Imagination and Praxis book series (IPCC, volume 1)

Abstract

In this letter it is my intention to primarily speak to my likely audience, that is, those teachers and future teachers studying education in possibly a teacher education or doctoral program. As a student you are in the process of acquiring some form of degree or certification to work in an institution of education. Given the fact that you are about to give yourself over to an institution for the better part of your productive life, it seems reasonable that you might be at least a little bit interested in what exactly it is you are getting yourself into.
