The article is part of a conversational series between Boyte and Deborah Meier, senior scholar at New York University\u2019s Steinhardt School of Education.<\/p>\n<p>Boyte argues that we should view democracy as &#8220;an empowering way of life,&#8221; and not merely a decision-making process. &#8220;We need to combine the &#8216;head,&#8217; which makes decisions, the &#8216;heart,&#8217; moral imagination and emotion, and the &#8216;hand,&#8217; civic muscles that power action in the world,&#8221; he writes.<\/p>\n<p>In regards to education, Boyte offers an antidote to a culture that separates the hard sciences, the arts and the professional or vocational fields, parallels to the &#8220;head&#8221;, &#8220;heart&#8221; and &#8220;hand&#8221; metaphor. He argues in favor of Cooperative Education, &#8220;a method that combines academic study and classroom learning with practical work experience for which students can receive academic credit.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Read\u00a0the article, which also was published on the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.huffingtonpost.com\/harry-boyte\/beyond-sentimental-citize_b_9615560.html\">Huffington Post Education<\/a> site.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Harry Boyte, senior fellow at the Sabo Center for Democracy and Citizenship, recently published an article for Education Week about democracy in education.
