George Counts  

Definition(s)

  • George Counts, raised in a Populist household in Kansas, was (perhaps second to John Dewey) arguably the most renowned American progressive educator of the 20th century. Counts became famous in pedagogical circles during the 1930s as the leader of a group of radicalized educators who called themselves “frontier thinkers”or “social reconstruction-ists.”They wanted to construct American society along socialist lines via education.
