The book offers a wealth of practical resources for use in elementary, middle school, and high school classrooms, as well as consideration of many of the broader educational, social, and political topics in the field, including the educational value of pre-college philosophy, the philosophies of education that inform this philosophical practice, and the relevance of pre-college philosophy for pressing issues in contemporary education (such as education reform, child development, and prejudice and privilege in classrooms).

Emphasizing the practice of philosophy, and specific activities like questioning, dialogue, and inquiry, Mohr Lone and Burroughs promote the aim of doing philosophy with students, and not just teaching about philosophy. Their lesson plans, and ingenious use of literature, start with where students’ interests and concerns are, across different ages. Their approach of promoting discussion within a “community of philosophical inquiry” is pragmatic and grounded in experience. Any teacher could use some of these lesson plans in their classroom. -- Nicholas C.

Beginning in the early elementary grades and continuing through the secondary years, they provide us and our teachers with a smorgasbord of practical and ingeniously inventive avenues into a realm of inquiry that opens up essential questions about justice, ethics, and equality. -- Jonathan Kozol, Author, \"The Shame of the Nation\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePreface  Section I\tWhy introduce philosophy to young people? \tChapter 1 – Philosophy Beyond the University  \tChapter 2 – Wonder, Questioning and Reflection    Section II\tMaking Space for Questioning and Dialogue  \tChapter 3 – Learner-Centered Education and the Dialogical Model   \tChapter 4 – Philosophical Sensitivity Chapter 5 – The Community of Philosophical Inquiry   Section III\tIn the Classroom  \tChapter 6 – Philosophy in Elementary School  \t\tA Question Board \t\tCreating Our Own Philosophical Story \t\tThe Three Questions by Jon Muth \t\tStuart Little chapter 12 by E.B.
