In response to growing concern in the 1980s about the quality of public education across the United States, a tremendous amount of energy was expended by organizations such as the Holmes Group and the Carnegie Forum to organize professional development schools (PDS) or “partner schools” for teacher education. On the surface, the concept of partnering is simple; however, the practice is very costly, complex, and difficult. In Schooling, Democracy, and the Quest for Wisdom, Robert V. Bullough, Jr. and John R. Rosenberg examine the concept of partnering through various lenses and they address what they think are the major issues that need to be, but rarely are, discussed by thousands of educators in the U.S. who are involved and invested in university-public school partnerships. Ultimately, they assert that the conversation around partnering needs re-centering (most especially on the purposes of public education), refreshing, and re-theorizing.  

"Bullough and Rosenberg’s new book is a passionate plea for society to reclaim the moral purpose of public schools and universities. By advocating for robust school-university partnerships, they give us hope and remind us that to care is human. Their book is a timely, must-read for those who care about the future of our democratic society." -- Rebecca West Burns * University of South Florida *

"Schooling, Democracy, and the Quest for Wisdom resets the focus of school reform, re-centers the purpose of partnership, and reassesses the very basis of education itself. Enough cannot be said about Bullough and Rosenberg's impressive intellectual range and their artful and engaging writing." -- Bernard J. Badiali * coauthor of Teacher Leader *
