- Abstract
This qualitative study investigates the ability of teachers that have completed their clinical experience-- i.e., teacher preparation-- in a school grounded in Deweyan theory to maintain a democratic practice. As such, the study focused on educators that were graduates of a school- university partnership program, known as CARE--Creating Active, Reflective Educators. Data were collected to address the following research question: "To what extent can former CARE students practice democratic education in their current public-school teaching environment?" Interviews conducted with current school teachers and leaders that were former CARE program students. Responses were audio- recorded and transcribed, then coded and organized into thematic units to report findings.
