Guest Speakers
Dewey believed that the school should interact with the surrounding community. One way of doing this would be to have people from the community come in to share their experiences. A great way for the community to do this is by going to the school to speak about what they do in the community, become guest speakers at the school. Each part of the community could send one person every so often to go to the school and explain what they do at work that helps benefit the community. Another great way for the school to interact with the community and see how things are run and how they work is by actually going out into the community.
