Please include two aspects to your post:
1. React to the notion that Counts' speech could serve as a foundation for the CCC track? (note: you can agree or take issue with this claim)
2. Ask three questions about the Rorty readings...

September 15...Plato's Republic
I will leave this as open-ended as possible: please comment on some aspect of this reading/listening experience. What struck you as interesting and relevant? What seemed strange and even problematic?
September 22...Rationalism, Empiricism, and Romanticism
We covered a lot of intellectual terrain this week. Rather than dig into the particulars of Locke, Descartes or Rousseau in this post, instead I'm going to ask you to think about these three ways of thinking about human nature and humans as knowers broadly:
1. How do they relate to/differ from each other?
2. Do you see these ways of thinking operational today within the realm of education? You might also consider whether the differences that exist between these philosophies relate to any tensions you see evident today.

October 6...Dewey's Democracy and Education, Chapters 5-8
As per our class discussion, please post a question inspired by this week's reading. Also, post a reply to at least one of the questions. Let me know if you have any questions...
Oct. 30, by 10am (note: this is a change)
Ask a question that you'd like for me to bring up in conversation with the critically-oriented scholars/teachers I will meet with at AESA. Feel free to draw on the recent readings (Dewey, Schutz, Freire, West, etc). and/or to look over the AESA program for inspiration (http://www.iaie.org/toronto2014/download/AESA_IAIE_conferenceprogram.pdf).
