{"product_id":"the-arthurdale-school","title":"The Arthurdale School","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis book chronicles the school envisioned by Eleanor Roosevelt in 1933 to serve Arthurdale, the New Deal government-created community in north-central West Virginia. Arthurdale was founded to house unemployed miners and their families and provide them with opportunities to receive healthcare and obtain gainful employment. Roosevelt had a particular interest in the education of children, feeling that education and social life were profoundly intertwined within a community. With that in mind, in 1934, she hired Elsie Ripley Clapp--an educator and leader in the Progressive Education movement--to design and implement the school, as well as oversee the social life of Arthurdale as a whole. In addition to covering the Arthurdale School's birth, life, and dissolution, Rosenberg discusses how the lessons of the school might serve the culture of education today, especially as an element of a comprehensive approach to community revitalization.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Palgrave MacMillan","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50021786452218,"sku":"9783031456251","price":139.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0840\/1253\/1962\/files\/imageloader_36d9cedf-0265-40a3-a705-f7081f45f288.jpg?v=1786139243","url":"https:\/\/mindsourcebooks.com\/products\/the-arthurdale-school","provider":"Mind Source Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
