Theory to Practice and Practice to Theory

This component of the CNPE site offers school-level examples of how the theoretical foundations of educating for social justice translate into practice.


We offer these as opportunities for you to visualize theory to practice and percolate practice through theory. In doing so, we assert that method is never “an external attachment to knowledge” (Dewey, 1904, 327-328).
