Preferred term

Progressive Education Association  

Definition

  • Founded as a populist organization for those who identified themselves as educational reformers, the Progressive Education Association (PEA) enjoyed initial success but experienced declining influence after World War II. The demise of the organization has been attributed to a shift in mission and identity—from an association of persons interested in education and its impact on community life to a more narrowly drawn organization of professional educators. [Source: Encyclopedia of Educational Reform and Dissent; Progressive Education Association (PEA)]
