Two inventories

The two inventories that my scoring selected was Social Reconstructionism and Constructivism. When I was reading the dialogue from the teacher's lounge, I thought I agree most with Myra Miller (perennialism) and Mark Washington (progressivism). When I reflect on it now it does contradict because one philosophy is teacher- centered, while the other is student- centered. I agree with social reconstuctionism because I think that supports Dr. Ayers opinion on unleashing students energies toward a world they will shape. Social reconstruction supports my previous lesson plan of using group settings and cultural differences as a teaching tool. I believe in learning from and teaching our peers. I like the fact the in the social reconstrutionism classroom, the book states on page 326 that the class will read a book and visit a photojournalist's exhibit. I believe this philosophy reaches the text and hands-on learner. I believe constructivism works well with social reconstructionism even though the books only mentioned existentialism.
