Abstract

This chapter will review the productive phases of the progressive education movement. It will detail several practices for educational democracy rooted from adult continuing education theory and practice. Educational historians know that education was broader than only education for children in formal public schools. In the past, many progressive educators have discounted adult continuing education, but in this new phase and age, the education and environment for children and adults are one-and-the-same. Some educators and historians may view the progressive movement as dead or out-of-date, but they miscalculate its continuing broader connection to society for addressing cultural, political, civic, academic, and economic matters. This new phase and age of progressivism makes it reasonable to bring the progressive education movement back-to-life and keep it in-style. The need for a new progressive movement to address current concerns about threats to democracy is paramount.
