At a time when debate over school reform commands unprecedented
attention, Judith L. Pace argues we must grapple with the
underlying challenges of classroom teaching and, at the same time,
strive to realize the ideals of democratic education. Building on
three qualitative studies in grades four through twelve, The
Charged Classroom examines the deeply embedded tensions, escalating
pressures, and exciting possibilities of the contemporary American
public school classroom. Through detailed descriptions and analyses
of social studies and English language arts classrooms, Pace
disentangles how teachers and students navigate three charged
arenas: academic expectations, discussion of provocative topics,
and curricular demands. In each domain, democratic learning
opportunities, such as promotion of positive student identity,
dialogue across differences, and exploration of conflict, are both
opened up and closed down. A passionate and persuasive call for
education reform, the book offers crucial insights about the
realities of teaching and key recommendations for advancing
democratic education in a multicultural society.
