About the book
“‘Whoosh! What a joy!’ This quintessential William Doll expression flows lyrically through this rhapsody of accolades about his lengthy, passionate service to curriculum and pedagogy. William Doll is a rare individual whose presence transforms the lives of everyone he touches. You will meet him here in all his winsome and pedagogical playfulness.”
—Peter P. Grimmett, Professor and Head of Curriculum and Pedagogy, University of British Columbia
From the Parade Child to the King of Chaos depicts the pedagogical life history of an extraordinary teacher educator and internationally renowned curriculum scholar, William E. Doll, Jr. It explores how his life experiences have contributed to the formation and transformation of a celebrated teacher educator. From the child who spontaneously led a parade to the king of chaos who embraces complexity in education, complicated tales of Doll’s journey through his childhood, youth, and decades of teaching in schools and in teacher education are situated in the historical, intellectual, and cultural context of American education. Seven themes are interwoven in Doll’s life, thought, and teaching: pedagogy of play, pedagogy of perturbation, pedagogy of presence, pedagogy of patterns, pedagogy of passion, pedagogy of peace, and pedagogy of participation. Based upon rich data collected over six years, this book demonstrates methodological creativity in integrating multiple sources and lenses. Profoundly moving, humorous, and inspirational, it is a much-needed text for undergraduate and graduate courses in teacher education, curriculum studies, theory and practice of teaching and learning, life history studies, chaos and complexity theory, and postmodernism.

Bill Doll’s Pedagogy: A Peek Behind the Curtain
It is no secret that I locate study, not teaching, at the site of educational experience.1 Teaching matters, as the life and career of my dear friend and key colleague William E. Doll, Jr., make clear. One of the ways teaching matters is in its communication of subject matter—simultaneously the school subject and the human subject—the educator’s engagement with students and colleagues in the complicated conversation that is the curriculum. At its consummate, teaching can be in consanguinity2 with its subject matter. As Hongyu Wang observes, “Doll teaches what he is.”3 Wang acknowledges that “such a unity between the teacher and teaching is remarkable.” Wang quotes the insight of another remarkable educator—Ted Aoki—“good teachers are more than they do; they are the teaching.” So too is Hongyu Wang, whose teaching in this book is in consanguinity with the pedagogy of William E. Doll, Jr., a great American teacher educator and curriculum theorist.4 It has been my privilege and pleasure to know Bill Doll for forty years, first in upstate New York, then in Louisiana, and now in the Pacific Northwest. Because I have before expressed my gratitude for this friendship5 in personal terms, I will not repeat it here. Because I have composed an overview6 of his resounding scholarship, I will not repeat that either. Here I focus on Doll’s exceptional teaching and Hongyu Wang’s wonderful teaching of it.←ix | x→
“Wonderful” seems precisely the word, as Wang works from “wonder,” defined as both the desire to know something and feelings of admiration, amazement, and marvel. Severing teaching from the specificities of situations—conceiving teaching as technique or best practice—risks remaking education a matter of manipulation, communicating to children they are merely means to depersonalized ends: school test scores.
Partly to protect students, partly to protect themselves, policy makers have promoted a professionalism stripped of the personal, rendering personal relationship incidental and even suspicious, especially between educators and young children. Wang’s achievement here is that she not only communicates, in consanguinity, the pedagogical genius of William E. Doll, Jr., she has also contributed to a conception of teaching that reintegrates what twentieth-century professionalism had split apart: subject matter and the human subject.
