What does it mean to teach for social justice? This book puts the
term into action for the classroom, community, and personal and
professional development. "Teaching for Social Justice?" sets out a
five-fold framework of social justice literacy: Functional,
Critical, Relational, Democratic, and Visionary. It them looks at
four K-12 educators--Margaret, Joe, Julia, and Paul--as they
exercise these literacies in their schools, communities, and
lives.These teachers come together with the author, a university
researcher, to discuss their experiences inside the classroom and
out. Throughout the book, short outtakes from these discussions
allow these teachers to share problems and insights from their work
with students and colleagues who are straight and gay; black,
white, Latino, Asian, and Indian; quiet and vocal; submissive and
disruptive.In the process, they show teachers how to confront
racism and sexism, overcome inertia as well as acting-out,
counteract resistance to change, and put principles of social
justice into practice every day. Their voices will ring true to
teachers everywhere--urban and rural; in public, private, and
alternative schools; throughout every region of the U.S. "Teaching
for Social Justice?" is that rare book that can provoke a
rethinking of educational philosophy even as it helps get teachers
through the day.
