| Audrey Thompson - What to Do While Waiting for the Revolution: Political Pragmatism and Performance Pedagogy (4288 words) |
 | Insofar as progressive education is modelled on liberal education, it concentrates on acquainting students with important arguments that take up power relations as part of the overall analysis offered in a course. |
 | Progressive education modelled on liberal education may risk accommodation to privilege by accepting the terms of access to power (as with Delpit); by presenting counterarguments to mainstream arguments deemed worthy of refutation (as in the example Hoagland offers); or even by invoking disciplinary standards such as objectivity, balance, or acquaintance with the canon. |
 | Though progressive teachers are concerned to move students away from oppressive beliefs and commitments, the appeal to authenticity in student-centered education implicitly acknowledges a kind of parallelism in divergent forms of experience. |
