Learning for Work
2024
Overview
Founded in 1883, the Chicago Manual Training School (CMTS) was a
short-lived but influential institution dedicated to teaching a
balanced combination of practical and academic skills. Connie
Goddard uses the CMTS as a door into America's early era of
industrial education and the transformative idea of \"learning to
do.\"
Rooting her account in John Dewey's ideas, Goddard moves from
early nineteenth century supporters of the union of learning and
labor to the interconnected histories of CMTS, New Jersey's Manual
Training and Industrial School for Colored Youth, North Dakota's
Normal and Industrial School, and related programs elsewhere.
Goddard analyzes the work of movement figures like abolitionist
Theodore Weld, educators Calvin Woodward and Booker T. Washington,
social critic W.E.B. Du Bois, Dewey himself, and his influential
Chicago colleague Ella Flagg Young. The book contrasts ideas about
manual training held by advocate Nicholas Murray Butler with those
of opponent William Torrey Harris and considers overlooked
connections between industrial education and the Arts and Crafts
Movement.
An absorbing merger of history and storytelling, Learning
for Work looks at the people who shaped industrial education
while offering a provocative vision of realizing its potential
today.
