Böcker av Robert Halpern

Describes the pedagogical importance of 'apprenticeship' - a movement based in schools, youth-serving organizations, and arts, civic, and other cultural institutions. In covering the complexities of apprenticeship learning, this book also challenges the education system that is geared towards the acquisition of de-contextualized skills.

This book presents a historical perspective on one of the central components of the U.S. social welfare network-family services-and provides a unique look at the advances this service network has achieved, problems it has confronted, and how it is likely to develop in the future.
