Yetta Goodman has been searching for roots of "teachable moment" and has
found it in the early progressive education writings (1st quarter of the
century)- which would of course include the Bank Street folks. She has
yet to find a source for the phrase cited in any use of it. It's
possible that Dewey may have used the phrase first.
