John Deweys Experience and Education is an important book, but firsttime readers of Deweys philosophy can find it challenging and not meaningfully related to the contemporary landscape of education. Jeff Franks Teaching in the Now aims to reanimate Deweys textfor firsttime readers and anyone who teaches the text or is interested in appreciating Deweys continuing significanceby focusing on Deweys thinking on preparation. Frank, through close readings of Dewey, asks readers to wonder: How much of what we justify as preparation in education is actually necessary? That is, every time we catch ourselves telling a studentyou need to learn this in order to do something elsewe need to stop and reflect. We need to reflect, because when we always justify the present moment of a students education in terms of what will happen in the future, we may lose out on the ability to engage students attention and interest now, when it matters. Dewey asks his readers to trust that the best way to prepare students for an engaging and productive future is to create the most engaging and productive present experience for students. We learn to live fully in the future, only by practicing living fully in the present. Although it can feel scary to stop thinking of the work of education in terms of preparation, when educators reclaim the present for students, new opportunitiesfor teachers, students, schools, democracy, and educationemerge. Teaching in the Now explores these opportunities in impassioned and engaging prose that makes Experience and Education come alive for readers new to Dewey or who have taught and read him for many years.
