A timely collection of advice and strategies for creating a just
classroom from educators across the country, handpicked by
MacArthur Genius and bestselling author Lisa Delpit "A favorite
education book of the year." -Greater Good magazine Is it okay to
discuss politics in class? What are constructive ways to help young
people process the daily news coverage of sexual assault? How can
educators engage students around Black Lives Matter? Climate
change? Confederate statue controversies? Immigration? Hate speech?
In Teaching When the World Is on Fire, Delpit turns to a host of
crucial issues facing teachers in these tumultuous times. Delpit's
master-teacher wisdom tees up guidance from beloved, well-known
educators along with insight from dynamic principals and classroom
teachers tackling difficult topics in K-12 schools every day. This
cutting-edge collection brings together essential observations on
safety from Pedro Noguera and Carla Shalaby; incisive ideas on
traversing politics from William Ayers and Mica Pollock;
Christopher Emdin's instructive views on respecting and connecting
with black and brown students; Hazel Edwards's crucial insight
about safe spaces for transgender and gender-nonconforming
students; and James W. Loewen's sage suggestions about exploring
symbols of the South; as well as timely thoughts from Bill Bigelow
on teaching the climate crisis-and on the students and teachers
fighting for environmental justice. Teachers everywhere will
benefit from what Publishers Weekly called "an urgent and earnest
collection [that] will resonate with educators looking to teach
'young people to engage across perspectives' as a means to
'creating a just and caring world.'"
