Conceiving of pedagogy as a form of cultural politics and teachers,
therefore, as cultural workers, Simon offers a fresh vision of the
notion of pedagogy. Grounded in an ethical and political stance
devoted to the advancement of human dignity, Simon reflexively
considers the basis on which teachers form their own dispositions
and feelings, and urges them to consider not only what they might
do as teachers but what social visions are supported by their
practices. In this in-depth discussion of the requirements for a
pedagogy of possibility, Simon highlights the significance of his
theoretical commitment as applied to educational practice. To
illustrate the ways that pedagogy is implicated in the construction
of a social imaginary, Simon explores how the substance of
schooling might be recast in a way that involves the work of
teaching in reconstituting a progressive moral project for
education that can constitute part of a broadly based social
transformation. He subsequently offers a social vision on which a
pedagogy of possibility might be founded, and shows how schools,
along with other sites of cultural production, may be understood as
integral to the struggle to establish such a vision. In addition,
he discusses in detail how a practice of pedagogy might be
conceptualized that would help establish concrete forms of hopeful
practice.
