This book is dedicated to Beny and Oliver, who have taught me how to truly appreciate my own educative experiences as a father.
Preface
Why a series of educative essays?
I began studying a doctoral dissertation from Northcentral University (NCU) in September of 2007. NCU is an online university, accredited by the Higher Learning Commission and is a member of the North Central Association. The first two years of the doctoral program consists of graduate courses whereby learners upload essays to the NCU platform for credit. Having completed all of the course work for the program, I realized that I had accumulated quite a few essays over the years, covering a variety of topics within the field of education. So, why a series of educative essays? Here are a few reasons:
I realized that I had no personal copies of any of the essays that I had written for NCU - they all resided on the NCU platform for a definite period of time.
The essays were all spread out over various courses and quite difficult to find. Having them all in a book format would allow for easier access.
I’ve been blogging for several years and have never gotten into the habit of reading prior posts, even when someone would post a reply. It was just something I hardly ever did, for better or for worse. The same applied to the essays written for my doctoral program. I thought having them as a single collection would force me to look at how I viewed various educational topics in the past as well as my own writing style. It has now been long enough that I feel that I can step back and appreciate them for what they are. Not literary classics, nor excessively profound statements on education written in clear, academic style and tone, but a realization and some satisfaction in reflecting on how my perspective in some cases had changed over the years while in other cases a perspective that continues today.
Never having published a book before, I thought pulling these essays together would justify going through the self-publishing process from start to finish. I will leave it up to the reader to judge whether doing so was actually worth it or not.
I wanted to offer a book on educational topics under a Creative Commons License so that others could reuse, revise, remix, and redistribute it to give back to the profession of education in some way.
Why order essays by date?
The essays are ordered by date so to respect the order in which I wrote them, spanning a period of about two years. It also provides a way to reflect on how my writing style and ideas developed during this period. Some topics jump around between chapters while others are more aligned. Thus, you may want to skip around to different chapters of the book to read those essays that interest you the most, or you may decide to read them in order, from start to finish.
Yielding to Dewey (1938), the term educative in the title of this book is meant to promote, the growth of future experience
(p. 13). My sincere hope is that to some small degree that this will be the case for the reader - I know the process of putting these essays together has certainly been educative for me.
