This powerful book lays out an inspiring new vision for the
teaching of English, building on themes central to Wilhelm's
influential ""You Gotta BE The Book."" With this new work, Wilhelm
and Novak challenge business as usual in the language arts. They
call for nothing short of a revolution in our understanding of the
aims and methods of the English classroom, showing what English can
do for democratic life, inside and outside of classrooms. With
moving portraits of teachers and students, as well as practical
strategies and advice, they provide a roadmap to educational
transformation far beyond the field of English that will be of
interest to a wide audience of teachers, teacher educators,
curriculum developers, and educational leaders. Essential questions
explored by Teaching Literacy for Love and Wisdom: Why is what
English teachers do so often underestimated? How can we teach
literature in a way that fully taps into its transformative power?
How can we artfully teach all subjects, at all levels, for personal
wisdom, democratic community, and social and ecological justice?
