Select your answer for: In what year did John Dewey found the Laboratory School_________________________?
Show answer

Answer: C. 1896

Explanation

John Dewey officially founded his famous experimental Laboratory School in the specific year 1896. Establishing the school in 1896 allowed him to immediately begin testing his progressive educational theories. The operations launched in 1896 provided years of valuable empirical data on child-centered learning. Dewey arrived at the University of Chicago in 1894 and spent two years planning his experimental school. The Laboratory School opened its doors with a small group of students and teachers exploring active curricula. Historical records consistently mark 1896 as the monumental birth year of this progressive educational institution.

1893 is too early because Dewey had not yet assumed his professorship at the University of Chicago. 1894 marks the year Dewey arrived at Chicago University rather than when the lab school actually opened. 1900 occurs several years after the school had already been successfully operating and publishing findings.
