Teaching Toward Democracy - Educators as Agents of Change (Paperback): William Ayers, Kevin Kumashiro, Erica Meiners, Therese... Teaching Toward Democracy - Educators as Agents of Change (Paperback)
William Ayers, Kevin Kumashiro, Erica Meiners, Therese Quinn, David Stovall
R1,371 Discovery Miles 13 710 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

"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.

Raza Studies - The Public Option for Educational Revolution (Paperback): Julio Cammarota, Augustine Romero Raza Studies - The Public Option for Educational Revolution (Paperback)
Julio Cammarota, Augustine Romero; Foreword by David Stovall
R1,140 Discovery Miles 11 400 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

The well-known and controversial Mexican American studies (MAS) program in Arizona's Tucson Unified School District set out to create an equitable and excellent educational experience for Latino students. Raza Studies: The Public Option for Educational Revolution offers the first comprehensive account of this progressive--indeed revolutionary--program by those who created it, implemented it, and have struggled to protect it.
Inspired by Paulo Freire's vision for critical pedagogy and Chicano activists of the 1960s, the designers of the program believed their program would encourage academic achievement and engagement by Mexican American students. With chapters by leading scholars, this volume explains how the program used "critically compassionate intellectualism" to help students become "transformative intellectuals" who successfully worked to improve their level of academic achievement, as well as create social change in their schools and communities.
Despite its popularity and success inverting the achievement gap, in 2010 Arizona state legislators introduced and passed legislation with the intent of banning MAS or any similar curriculum in public schools. Raza Studies is a passionate defense of the program in the face of heated local and national attention. It recounts how one program dared to venture to a world of possibility, hope, and struggle, and offers compelling evidence of success for social justice education programs.
