- More about Starting with Whitehead: Raising Children to Thrive in Treacherous Times
Parents and teachers want to give children the best opportunities for success in life, but opinions may vary vehemently about the methods for accomplishing these aims. Alfred North Whitehead's classic work, The Aims of Education, offers a three-stage process of learning that involves romance, precision, and generalization. This book provides examples of learning events at each stage that illustrate how adults can help children thrive in a world of change, based on the author's experience working with children as a parent, teacher, principal, and policy maker. De Jonghe's recommendations have relevance for parents, teachers, principals, and policy makers.

Parents and teachers alike strive to provide children with the best possible opportunities for success in life. However, opinions on the most effective methods to achieve these goals can vary widely. One approach that has gained significant attention is the work of Alfred North Whitehead, who believed that the process of change itself is fundamental to our existence, how we experience ourselves and others, and how we interact with the world around us. In his classic work, "The Aims of Education," Whitehead outlined a three-stage process of learning that involves romance, precision, and generalization. His vision of education emphasizes the importance of exploring real experiences rather than simply packing scraps of information into passive students. This book provides numerous examples of learning events at each stage that demonstrate how adults can help children thrive in a world of change, based on the author's extensive experience working with children as a parent, teacher, principal, and policy maker. Drawing on seminal psychological and educational research, De Jonghe sets these events in the context of a vigorous theoretical foundation and proposes specific strategies for success. Her recommendations are relevant for parents, teachers, principals, and policy makers alike.
