Students, parents, and educators at all levels are increasingly
frustrated, demoralized, burned out, and discontented with
education and schooling today. At no previous time has it been more
necessary to revitalize hope in the promise of education or to
reestablish joy in teaching and learning than the current moment.
In this timely and inspirational volume, authors from diverse
disciplines consider and affirm the many places across curriculum
and context where hope and joy are or can be strong and vibrant.
Drawing on the life-affirming ideals of renowned education
philosopher and school founder Daisaku Ikeda, Hope and Joy in
Education will reenergize educational research, theory, and
practice. Featuring contributions from such luminaries as Theodorea
Berry, Cynthia Dillard, Walter Gershon, Francyne Huckaby, Johnny
Lupinacci, and Anita Patterson, this book reminds readers that the
classroom is still a magical space, brimming with the brilliant and
creative energy of young people.Book Features: Illustrates the
power of Daisaku Ikeda's ideas to confront the challenging societal
contexts and conditions that schools and educators face day in and
day out. Shares narratives that employ critical and antiracist
lenses to examine the authors' own activist work with different
populations across multiple contexts. Considers Daisaku Ikeda's
contributions relative to established and emerging trends in
education, including the Deweyan tradition, ecojustice education,
critical race feminism, and others. Provides cross-cultural
examples and insights bolstering the current resurgence of
humanistic, qualitative aspects of teaching and learning. Shows how
the essential qualities of hope and joy fortify fields and themes
that have been squeezed out by political agendas and standardized
testing.
