  • Thesis Title Goes Here
    Including Women: The Establishment and Integration of Canadian Women’s History into Toronto Ontario Classrooms 1968-1993 by Rose Fine-Meyer A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Theory and Policy Studies in Education Ontario Institute for Studies in Education University of Toronto © Copyright by Rose Fine-Meyer 2012 Including Women: The Establishment and Integration of Canadian Women’s History into Toronto Ontario Classrooms 1968-1993 Rose Fine-Meyer Doctor of Philosophy Department of Theory and Policy Studies in Education Ontario Institute for Studies in Education University of Toronto 2012 Abstract Social movement activism throughout the 1960s and 1970s provided space for feminist concerns in a variety of arenas. Women's movement activism and women's scholarship in history challenged the ways in which women’s experiences had been marginalized or omitted in school history programs and curricula. Women's organizations developed and broadened networks, created and published resources, and lobbied governments and institutions. Their widespread activism spilled into a range of educational circles and influenced history teachers in altering curricula to include women in course materials. Advocating for women, on a curricular or professional development level, however, was complicated because of entrenched neo-liberal systems in place within education institutions. Although the Ontario Ministry of Education and the Toronto Board of Education demonstrated clear support for a wide range of gender equity- ii based initiatives, they committed to implementing a 'piecemeal' approach to curricular change. The fundamental work to include women in history curricula relied heavily on grassroots networks that allowed for women’s experiences to leak into classrooms, and were responsible for bringing women’s voices into the history curricula.

As the special investigator general seeks more transparency from the banks regarding the use of the bail out money, we are simply assured by the bankers that they are, indeed, lending us (our) money—and, that it would be too complicated to illustrate it for us.

  • Alternative School Pioneer Malcolm Levin Has Noted That Toronto's
    Journal of Unschooling and Alternative Learning 2012 Vol. 6 Issue 12. LETTING THE CHILD WORK: REAL LEARNING, REAL PLAY IN SCHOOL By: Deb O’ROURKE Abstract Unschoolers, and those who practice democratic, free, and progressive education philosophies, are often uncomfortable with a particular choice their children make: as Summerhill’s A. S. Neill observed: “Every child under freedom plays most of the time for years” (1964, p. 116). Those who see children as active, motivated learners can be disappointed when, given an environment rich with fascinating choices, their children spend most of their time in fantasy. The families’ discomfort can result in a reversion to more conventional schooling. Beginning with an early encounter with educational democracy during the 1970s at Toronto’s ALPHA Alternative School, supported with commentary from educators from schools that took a parallel path, and from psychologists and education critics both historic and contemporary, this article gathers arguments that support play as not only a pleasure but a necessity for growth, learning and mental health. Theoretical Framework This article draws on research from my 2010 Masters thesis Defining and Defending a Democratic Education Site, which examined the democratic relations within ISSN:1916-8128 Journal of Unschooling and Alternative Learning 2012 Vol. 6 Issue 12. ALPHA Alternative School, and between it and its public Board of Education. This research includes interviews of parents, teachers and students from Toronto’s ALPHA Alternative School. ALPHA grew from the Free School Movement of the 1960s and 70s, influenced by the work of Summerhill founder A. S. Neill and the radical education critics of the day.

  • Cole, Adam Josh
    Children, Liberalism and Utopia: Education, Hall-Dennis and Modernity in Ontario’s Long 1960s Adam Josh Cole A thesis submitted to the Department of History in conformity with the requirements of the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Queen’s University Kingston, Ontario, Canada September, 2015 Copyright © Adam Josh Cole, 2015 !ii Abstract In 1968, Ontario’s Department of Education released a report entitled Living and Learning: The Report of the Provincial Committee on Aims and Objectives of Education in the Schools of Ontario, which quickly came to be called the “Hall-Dennis Report” or simply “Hall-Dennis” after the names of its chairmen, Emmett Hall and Lloyd Dennis. The Report urged Ontarians to accept a new vision of education, one in which students were no longer organized in classes, their progress no longer measured by grades, and their experience no longer characterized by the painful acquisition of subjects but rather by a joyous and open- ended process of learning. The Report marked a significant moment not only in the development of Ontario’s educational system but in Canadian cultural history. In its outline of a new, “democratic” system of education for Ontario, one that it associated with the highest ideals of progress, liberalism, and humanism, Hall-Dennis revealed not only the high ambitions of liberal utopianism in the 1960s, but also suggested the extent to which its proponents sought to tame the forces of radicalism and maintain the pre-existing socio- economic order, albeit under the daunting and increasingly fragmenting circumstances of high modernity. !iii Acknowledgements To draw on a hoary old sixtes cliché: “what a long, strange trip it’s been.” In a sense, this project started as I entered public school in the late-1970s after a blissful year as a Montessori student.
