Since the initial publication in hardcover in 2003, Fires in the
Bathroom has been through multiple printings and received the
attention of teachers across the country. Now in pperback, Kathleen
Cushman's groundbreaking book offers original insights into teach
teenagers in today's hard pressed urban high schools from the point
of view of the students themselves. It speaks to both new and
established teachers, giving them firsthand information about who
their students are and what they need to succeed. Students from
across America contributed perceptive and pragmatic answers to
questions of how teachers can transcend the barriers of adolescent
identity and culture to reach the diverse student body in today's
urban schools. With the fresh and often surprising perspectives of
youth, they tackle issues such as increasing engagement and
motivation, teaching difficult and academic material, reaching
English Language learners, and creating a classroom culture where
respect and success go hand in hand.
