One camp focuses on big, broad ideas and visions for schools while the other is more practical, emphasizing instructional improvement and effective teaching. Finally, Lynn De Jonghe has bridged this gap, providing both a broad vision for schools based on the work of Alfred Whitehead, and practical guidance about what those big ideas might look like in real schools.
