The Great Didactic
by John Amos Comenius
Study by Holly Doden
Our goal is to foster a conversation that helps us to think more deeply about the philosophy and practices of education. In some ways, our tradition embraces many of the ideas of Comenius as the father of modern education. In other ways we have forgotten or rejected his principles and methods. The purpose of this study is to help us reflect on the importance of his voice and our application of it today.
