Philosophy in the Schools
official logoThe Philosophy in the Schools Project is a cooperative effort between the Philosophy Department and select public schools. Project Director since its inception in 1984 is Dr. Thomas E. Jackson. The Project's primary objective is to develop the ability of elementary through high school students to think for themselves in a responsible way. This is achieved through transforming traditional classrooms into communities of inquiry that are intellectually stimulating places. In such classrooms, teachers and their students pursue philosophical inquiries that arise out of the interests of the children. Since 1984, hundreds of teachers have participated in workshops aimed at learning the craft of facilitating philosophical dialogues with their students.
