Book Recommendations
- Person Centered Graduate Education, Roy P. Fairfield, Ph.D., 1977, Prometheus Books, Buffalo, NY. Written by a dear friend, colleague, and mentor of over 25 years, this remains a classic! Definitely worth tracking down and reading!
- Another classic: Freedom To Learn by the great psychologist Carl Rogers, 1969, Charles E. Merrill Publishing Co., Columbus, Ohio. This one is multi-level, provokes insight into yourself, and makes a lot of relevant connections, thereby proving that books written back in the late 1900’s are still valuable and relevant in the 21st Century!
- Also, any book by educator John Holt, especially What Do I Do Monday?, 1970, E.P.Dutton & Co., NY. (But also his books How Children Fail and How Children Learn.) Practical, easy-to-apply and full of insight into our individual learning styles.)
-
For a new perspective on all those things you memorized in school, try scoping out An Underground Education by Richard Zacks, 1997, Doubleday, NY. A fascinating trip through the wild, weird, and fantastical facts you may have missed in your curriculum.
