{"product_id":"learning-for-work-connie-goddard-9780252046049","title":"Learning for Work: How Industrial Education Fostered Democratic Opportunity","description":"Founded in 1883, the Chicago Manual Training School (CMTS) was a short-lived but influential institution dedicated to teaching a balanced combination of practical and academic skills. Connie Goddard uses the CMTS as a door into America's early era of industrial education and the transformative idea of \"learning to do.\" \u003cp\u003e Rooting her account in John Dewey's ideas, Goddard moves from early nineteenth century supporters of the union of learning and labor to the interconnected histories of CMTS, New Jersey's Manual Training and Industrial School for Colored Youth, North Dakota's Normal and Industrial School, and related programs elsewhere. Goddard analyzes the work of movement figures like abolitionist Theodore Weld, educators Calvin Woodward and Booker T. Washington, social critic W.E.B. Du Bois, Dewey himself, and his influential Chicago colleague Ella Flagg Young. The book contrasts ideas about manual training held by advocate Nicholas Murray Butler with those of opponent William Torrey Harris and considers overlooked connections between industrial education and the Arts and Crafts Movement. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e An absorbing merger of history and storytelling, \u003ci\u003eLearning for Work\u003c\/i\u003e looks at the people who shaped industrial education while offering a provocative vision of realizing its potential today. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Connie Goddard\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0252046048\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780252046049\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Illinois Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/24\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 312\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs","brand":"Connie Goddard","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46721431306495,"sku":"9780252046049","price":125.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d215a230-970e-413b-bc35-9fe311a674d4.jpg?v=1742752848","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/learning-for-work-connie-goddard-9780252046049","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
