This book was written during a time of growing upheaval and
disagreement about how America should educate its students,
particularly those who are poor, diverse, and failing school.
Dominant educational research, newspapers, and popular movies such
as Waiting for Superman continually fuel public debates about
whether our 21st century schools provide justice for all, decrease
the achievement gap, and leave no child behind. However, even
though one of teachers greatest concerns and why many leave the
profession, classroom discipline is rarely brought to the forefront
of discussion. As a result, public discourse does not get into what
actually happens during disciplinary moments that ultimately leads
to the disproportional tracking of particular students into
exclusionary school disciplinary consequences, which funnels an
underclass of students into the school-to-prison pipeline. This
book is a scholarly study, presented here as a readable story, and
practical guide for walking teachers, administrators, and teacher
education programs through the process of transforming traditional
ways of thinking about classroom discipline and teaching in order
to create student-centered, creative, non-punitive classrooms that
authentically engage the most alienated and oppressed students in
our schools and society."
