Theodore Brameld
1904 – 1987
Theodore Brameld ( ) founder of social reconstructionism, in reaction against the realities of World War II.

6. Starting Point George Counts (1889-1974)
In the 1930s Brameld was drawn to a social activist group of scholars at Teachers College, Columbia University (i.e. Counts, Rugg, Curti, and Kilpatrick).
Counts especially influenced him profoundly. Writing in The Social Frontier, a journal of educational and political critique, he argued for a radical philosophy that focused analysis on weaknesses in the social, economic, and political structure.
George Counts ( )
From this analysis came constructive blueprints for a new social order that challenged social inequities like prejudice, discrimination, and economic exploitation.

7. Notable Reconstructivisits
George Counts ( ) - recognized that
Education was the means of preparing people
for creating this new social order.
Paulo Freire ( ) - a Brazilian whose experiences living in poverty led him to champion education and literacy as the vehicle for social change.

- saw teaching and learning as a process of inquiry in which the child must invent and reinvent the world.
