This book explores the seminal curriculum work of Joseph Schwab in the light of a Rabbinic
Judaism to which Schwab did not - even perhaps could not - refer but which Alan Block
asserts might be central to a fuller understanding of Schwab's prescriptions for 'The
Practical'. Using the language and methods of Rabbinic Judaism and Schwab's eclectic arts
Talmud Curriculum and The Practical opens a new practical perspective onto American
education studying and redefining issues confronting education at the beginning of a new
century and a new millennium.
