Practicing Democracy in the Classroom (1953). Points out that democratic techniques are more effective in teaching good citizenship than laissez-faire and authoritarian methods. This educator instruction film advocates the use of democratic prinicples within the classroom. Even today, so many classrooms based around teacher centered, autocratic methodologies, this is a timely message. This film displays many practices that are at the heart of progressive educational thought: student centered learning, authentic tasks, collaborative work, authentic assessment. This is all couched in the framework of bolstering democracy, which ironically it does, by promoting an independantly thinking citizen that tries to gather facts and reason, rather than relying on talking head demagogues.

Pretty advanced approach that still is not implemented to the degree it should be. Say KAGAN strategies....

Too bad democratic schools aren't the norm today. Maybe one day in the future.

"They are learning that through social ostracisation and exploitation of populist views, it is easy to enforce autocracy under the pretence of woolly democracy"

That Harold kid sounds like a commie! There's no place for pinkos like that in an upstanding democratic classroom!
