This book defines and galvanizes a new approach to education through refocusing it on human relations. Following on the heels of lackluster accountability- and choice-based reforms, this approach suggests that meaningful educational change depends on recognition that relations between students and teachers and among students are critically important. Stakeholders must create intentional policies and practices that allow the relational side of education to flourish. Focusing on the PK-12 educational system, Pedagogy of Relation provides support for the claim that relations are the basis for successful learning—that education is a profoundly social activity—and to push educational reform in a new direction.
