Arthurdale Community School by Sam F. StackCall Number: Hazard CTC - Hazard Campus - Lees College Campus - Kentucky Appalachian Collection LD7501.A74 S73 2016
The first book-length study of the well-known educational experiment, The Arthurdale Community School illuminates the institution’s history, influence, and impact. Founded on American philosopher and reformer John Dewey’s idea that learning should be based not on competition but on community, and informed by First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt’s guidance, the Arthurdale project sought to enable both children and adults to regain a sense of identity and place by studying the history and culture of Appalachia.
