"Teaching Toward Democracy" examines the contested space of
schooling and school reform with a focus on the unique challenges
and opportunities that teaching in a democratic society provides.
Teaching in and for democracy involves developing particular
qualities of mind that teachers explore and work to develop as they
become more effective educators. Some chapters open with familiar
experiences in the lives of teachers in schools (working with
parents and communities, or dealing with classroom discipline and
management) and illuminate that commonplace in new, helpful, and
sometimes startling, ways. Other chapters present possible
interventions any teacher might make in any classroom for example,
using the arts as an organizing center and metaphor for teaching
more generally, or rethinking the press of politics on our every
day practice. This book foregrounds the central idea that
democratic ideals are a necessary starting point and context in
which to enact our teaching here and now.
