Smith, M.K. (2009). // Johann Heinrich Pestalozz // i. Retrieved from http://www.infed.org/thinkers/et-pest.htm
The website article wrote of the life of Johann Heinrich Pestalozzi who was born in 1746 and died in 1827. Pestalozzi was a follower of Rousseau’s ideas, which he explored, implemented, and developed into something that he could use in his own educational philosophy. Pestalozzi aimed to educate the whole child; intellectual education is only part of a wider plan; he looked to balance, or keep in equilibrium, three elements: hands, heart, and head.

If an instructor wants to read about the life of a person who was instrumental in vocational education, this article will certainly shed light on Pestalozzi’s philosophy and belief that all students should be educated and that education should be based on autonomy and freedom. This is important to the wiki in that educators can see the richness of the people who contributed to CTE’s conception and play a large role in the pedagogy that was formulated years ago and still used today.
