Philosophy of Neohumanist Education (10:00am ET)

Applied to education, the philosophy of Neohumanism offers a theoretical framework for understanding what it means to be human, the aims and purposes of education, how knowledge is constructed, how people learn, what should be taught, what constitutes a “good life,” and how school and society are connected. With these foundational concepts in place, the class will collaboratively explore the contours of a Neohumanist philosophy of education, which will serve as the foundation for subsequent learning in the program about the practical aspects of teaching and learning.
