IWO JPFO Organizational History - Description:
- 3 pages. Date taken from penciled note; document has handwritten redactions. Translated Summary: Camp as a natural extension of the school movements, at first parallel in goals, methods and ideology. Camp also required new methods in new contexts, and was able to serve as laboratory, influencing received methods and ideas in the schools themselves. Describes introduction of project-based learning in summer camp in 1928, an idea then later attempted in the schools. Later the camps helped to develop the first generation of American-born teachers for the schools.
- Notes:
- The Jewish People’s Fraternal Order was the largest ‘national’ section of the International Workers Order (IWO) which focused on cultural awareness and celebration, mutual support especially in health insurance coverage, and anti-fascist activities. The IWO also gave particular emphasis to supporting the rights and interests of African Americans.
