The Philosophy for Children Center as a Networking Process

Abstract

Introduction:  Philosophy for Children has been firmly established as a leader in educational reform.  It is a model curriculum which has been a determining force in defining the general field of Reflective Education.  Philosophy for Children differs from many other educational approaches in its attempt to avoid the folly of dichotomizing the theoretical and the practical.  It has also tried to graft the fragmentation manifest when we fail to allow for the continuity of affect, thought, and action in planning our educational strategies.
