Thinking comprehensively about education : spaces of educative possibility and their implications for public policy / edited by Ezekiel J. Dixon-Román and Edmund W. Gordon.

"While much is known about the critical importance of educative experiences outside of school, little is known about the social systems, community programs, and everyday practices that can facilitate learning outside of the classroom. Thinking Comprehensively About Education sheds much-needed light on those systems, programs, and practices. This original edited collection identifies and describes the resources that enable optimal human learning and development, and offers a public policy framework that can enable a truly comprehensive educational system"-- Provided by publisher.
