Teaching controversial issues in the classroom is now more urgent
and fraught than ever as we face up to rising authoritarianism,
racial and economic injustice, and looming environmental disaster.
Despite evidence that teaching controversy is critical, educators
often avoid it. How then can we prepare and support teachers to
undertake this essential but difficult work? Hard Questions:
Learning to Teach Controversial Issues, based on a cross-national
qualitative study, examines teacher educators' efforts to prepare
preservice teachers for teaching controversial issues that matter
for democracy, justice, and human rights. It presents four detailed
cases of teacher preparation in three politically divided
societies: Northern Ireland, England, and the United States. The
book traces graduate students' learning from university coursework
into the classrooms where they work to put what they have learned
into practice. It explores their application of pedagogical tools
and the factors that facilitated or hindered their efforts to teach
controversy. The book's cross-national perspective is compelling to
a broad and diverse audience, raising critical questions about
teaching controversial issues and providing educators, researchers,
and policymakers tools to help them fulfill this essential
democratic mission of education.
