Biography
Alan A. Block is Emeritus Professor of Teaching, Learning, and Leadership in the College of Education at the University of Wisconsin-Stout, USA.
" Block offers a broad stroke perspective that includes a historical expectation of the potential of education to positively influence society, while also bringing a more focused lens on the present pedagogic climate of American education..This book will appeal to all who search for a more humane learning experience that is not, in Block’s metaphorical representation, the equivalent of teachers making deposits of knowledge in young minds that can be drawn upon on demand in the numerous assessments they face. This book does not define learning by scholarship and academia, but as a contributor to the quality of one’s life."
