Many teachers enter the profession with a desire to "make a
difference." But given who most teachers are, where they come from,
and what pressure they feel to comply with existing school
policies, how can they take up this charge? Practice What You Teach
follows three different groups of educators to explore the
challenges of developing and supporting teachers sense of social
justice and activism at various stages of their careers: White
pre-service teachers typically enrolled in most teacher education
programs, a group of new teachers attempting to integrate social
justice into their teaching, and experienced educators who see
their teaching and activism as inextricably linked. Teacher
educator Bree Picower delves into each of these group s triumphs
and challenges, providing strategies and suggestions for all
teachers along with her in-depth analysis.
By understanding all these challenges, pre-service and
in-service teachers, along with teacher educators, will be in a
better position to develop the kind of political analysis that lays
the foundation for teacher activism. This timely resource helps
prepare and support all educators to stand up for equity and
justice both inside and outside of the classroom and offers a more
nuanced portrait of what the struggle to truly "make a difference"
looks like.
