New York University Press Educating the Whole Child for the Whole World
Book SynopsisExamines best practices in schools education in the context of an increasingly interconnected worldTrade ReviewCourtney Ross has devoted her life to holistic education for young people. Educating the Whole Child for the Whole World tells the marvelous story of how one day they will be our future leaders and help create a peaceful, just, sustainable and healthy society. -- Deepak ChopraFor more than two decades, everything that carries Courtney Ross’ imprint has symbolized international, out-of-the-box originality, especially through her efforts in education. One extraordinary example of this was the 2001 Sonic Convergence: A Glimpse Into the Global Classroom project. I was involved, both in person and through the use of cutting edge media, mentoring students and faculty participating in the USA, China, and Sweden; then we came together and made beautiful music as I conducted their final, global composition. -- Quincy JonesIve always believed that education is freedom. It opens the door to greater possibilities. In my lifes work in education, Ive turned to Courtney Ross to provide insight and inspiration. The Ross School is an exemplary model of what is attainable for global education in the 21st Century. -- Oprah WinfreyCourtney Ross and I are co-workers in the vineyard of the education of the young. I was inspired when I visited the Ross School years ago. In my own work in founding the now 20-years-old Illinois Math and Science Academy (IMSA), I appreciated the unique qualities of Ross. The Ross School model is clearly a profound example of what the nation and the world needs so desperately. -- Leon M. Lederman,Nobel Laureate in PhysicsWhen I visited the Long Island Ross School I was struck by the way Courtney Ross and her team successfully brought together the elements of an effective school: reflective teachers, innovative curriculum, and student-centered instruction. It is no wonder that the school has been a magnet for some of the most influential education thinkers of our time. In Educating the Whole Child for the Whole World, Suarez-Orozco and Sattin-Bajaj have created a multi-faceted meditation on the ever-evolving Ross model of education, with relevant lessons for educators everywhere. -- Kathleen McCartney,Dean, Harvard Graduate School of EducationTable of ContentsForeword Nick Appelbaum Acknowledgments Introduction Marcelo M.

Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd Assessing the Contributions of Higher Education
Book SynopsisTrade Review‘The debate about the contributions of higher education for individuals and societies has been dominated by those aspects associated with the labour market's participation of more qualified individuals and the expansion of wealth and income derived from the creation and dissemination of knowledge. Despite their importance, the excessive attention to those benefits has induced a tropism that has narrowed academic and policy debates about the multiple and complex roles that higher education institutions can play in the betterment of their communities. The authors of this volume should be commended for their important effort to develop a broader and more fruitful dialogue among social scientists and policy-makers about those contributions. Their achievement is also a reminder of the need for more interdisciplinary approaches to understand complex social phenomena.’ -- Pedro Nuno Teixeira, University of Porto, Portugal and former Director of CIPES – Center for Research in Higher Education Policies‘If the legitimacy of higher education is to be maintained in the face of increasingly hostile questioning, it is essential that its contributions to societies are opened up to critical scrutiny so that they can be enhanced and more widely recognised. This engaging and insightful book does a great service to the field by beginning this important work.’ -- Paul Ashwin, Lancaster University, UK‘This book takes readers on a world tour to make a compelling case that higher education has made a significant difference and for some countries, the contributions have been underestimated. The set of authors who are situated across different national contexts present fresh data and analyses to recognize and conceptualize both local and global contributions of higher education. At the same time, the authors are aware that the full potential of higher education has not yet been fully realized and make clear the challenges moving forward for both policymakers and scholars of higher education. Readers will appreciate the deep analyses and insightful observations offered here on a global scale not just for celebrating the contributions of higher education to justify future investment but also for offering different paths forward to account for and address global challenges to maximize the return on that investment.’ -- Mitchell J.

Johns Hopkins University Press Transforming Students
Book SynopsisIt is preparation for life.Trade ReviewWe highly recommend Transforming Students. The importance of creating transformational learning experiences in today's university setting that connect with messy real world problems and hopeful opportunities is paramount to achieve the promises of a higher education. -- Edward J. Brantmeier & Emily L. Kohl Teachers College Record This book is particularly relevant as the idea of a university and the fundamental purpose of higher education continue to be challenged and redefined... While Johansson and Felten acknowledge that this work emphasizes the enrichment and engagement that residential colleges can provide, their focus on the traditional college experience is not a limitation of the book. If anything, the testaments of transformation in individuals' stories at Elon and other examples of successful collegiate interventions across the nation offer support for the power of engagement that the traditional university can still deliver, especially in a rapidly emerging era of for-profit institutions and online learning. -- Veronica Jones Review of Higher Education This concise text encourages educators, provides simple entry points into pedagogical theories, distills current student development research into poignant sound bites, and offers conceptual measures for engaging the transformative learning process with one's own students, both inside and outside the classroom. -- Rachel A.

Johns Hopkins University Press Mindset Matters
Book SynopsisHow colleges can foster growth mindsets among studentsand why this approach matters. We live in an era of escalating, tech-fueled change. Our jobs and the skills we need to work and thrive are constantly evolving, and those who can't keep up risk falling behind. That's where college comes in. In Mindset Matters, Daniel R. Porterfield advances a powerful new argument about the value of residential undergraduate education and its role in developing growth mindsets among students. The growth mindset, according to Porterfield, is the belief that we can enhance our core qualities or talents through our efforts, strategies, and education, and with assistance from others. People with growth mindsets have faith in self-improvement. They tend to be goal oriented and optimistic, confident that they can master new challenges because they've done so in the past. Feedback is their friend, errors their opportunities to begin again. For students like this, college is a multiyear process of self-c

Book SynopsisRandy Stoecker has been practicing forms of community-engaged scholarship, including service learning, for thirty years now, and he readily admits, Practice does not make perfect. In his highly personal critique, Liberating Service Learning and the Rest of Higher Education Civic Engagement, the author worries about the contradictions, unrealized potential, and unrecognized urgency of the causes as well as the risks and rewards of this work. Here, Stoecker questions the prioritization and theoretical/philosophical underpinnings of the core concepts of service learning: 1. learning, 2. service, 3. community, and 4. change. By liberating service learning, he suggests reversing the prioritization of the concepts, starting with change, then community, then service, and then learning. In doing so, he clarifies the benefits and purpose of this work, arguing that it will create greater pedagogical and community impact.Liberating Service Learning and the Rest of Higher Education Civic EngagemTable of ContentsPrelude: Confessions and AcknowledgmentsI The Problem and Its Context1 Why I Worry2 A Brief Counterintuitive History of Service Learning3 Theories (Conscious and Unconscious) of Institutionalized Service LearningInterludeII Institutionalized Service Learning4 What Is Institutionalized Service Learning’s Theory of Learning?5 What Is Institutionalized Service Learning’s Theory of Service?6 What Is Institutionalized Service Learning’s Theory of Community?7 What Is Institutionalized Service Learning’s Theory of Change?III Liberating Service Learning8 Toward a Liberating Theory of Change 9 Toward a Liberating Theory of Community10 Toward a Liberating Theory of Service11 Toward a Liberating Theory of Learning12 Toward a Liberated World?PostludeReferencesIndex

University of Toronto Press Rethinking Freire and Illich
Book SynopsisMarking the fiftieth anniversary of two of the most influential books in modern educational and social theory, Rethinking Freire and Illich introduces readers to the results of the symposium of Paulo Freire’s Pedagogy of the Oppressed and Ivan Illich’s Deschooling Society. The collection uniquely analyses Freire and Illich together, although not in a comparative way. It acknowledges that both Freire and Illich led in different ways to a new approach to perceiving and understanding the concept of liberation as a human condition, while also presenting current criticisms of their work from a gendered perspective and by Indigenous scholars in the US and Canada. Drawing on contributions from historians of education, theologians, digital experts, and philosophers of education, the book offers a historical analysis using extensive primary sources and an originality of topics. It introduces the ways in which the current generation reads the overall Table of ContentsIntroduction Rosa Bruno-Jofré, Michael Attridge, and Jon Igelmo Zaldivar Part I: Historical Framework 1.

University of Toronto Press Feeling Obligated
Book SynopsisFeeling Obligated combines theoretical insights with the first-hand experiences of Canadian teachers to illustrate the impact of neoliberalism the installation of market norms into educational and social policies on teachers’ professional integrity. Anne M. Phelan and Melanie D. Janzen illustrate the miserable conditions in which teachers teach, their efforts to navigate and withstand those circumstances, and their struggle to respond ethically to students, especially those already marginalized economically and socially. Exploring how educational policies attempt to recast teachers as skilled clinicians, the book revitalizes a conversation about teaching as a vocation wherein the challenge of obligation is of central concern. Haunted by what has already happened and threatened by what may yet occur, Feeling Obligated foregrounds the challenge of ethical obligation in teaching and makes a strong case for the revitalization of teaching as a vocation, Table of ContentsAcknowledgments Introduction: The “Miserable Conditions” of Teaching 1.

Bristol University Press Ethnic Segregation Between Schools: Is It
Book SynopsisThere is an enduring belief amongst some that segregation is worsening and undermining social cohesion, and that this is especially visible in the growing divides between the schools in which our children are educated.

Information Age Publishing Social and Emotional Learning in Out-Of-School
Book SynopsisThis volume focuses on social and emotional learning (SEL) from a variety of perspectives. The goal of the volume is to offer a clear framing of SEL in relation to other related out-of-school time concepts and initiatives. SEL has gained popularity as a concept in recent years and there remains confusion as well as great interest in the meaning and implementation of SEL in OST. Policymakers, researchers, and practitioners are pursuing work related to SEL in OST and this volume offers an opportunity to share that work by: Defining and explaining SEL in a variety of out of school contexts and highlighting opportunities for integration and alignment with other fields (e.g., formal education) Clarifying the language and framework confusion and honoring the field’s foundation in thinking about social and emotional development through high quality youth development practice Sharing information about current trends and new developments and how that work is shaping the field across the developmental continuum Making the research to practice connection by including in each chapter foundational research on the topic, evidence of effective efforts, and practical implications Offering recommendations for researchers, practitioners, and policymakers related to SEL in OST settings Trade ReviewThe social and emotional development of our nation's youth is a common, essential concern of those working in school and out of school. This volume will be the catalyst for long overdue conversation, collaboration, and synergy. It is essential reading for practitioners, researchers, and policy makers in both contexts who are concerned with preparing children for the tests of life, and not a life of tests."" —Maurice J. Elias, Ph.D. Rutgers University, Co-director Academy for Social-Emotional Learning in Schools and After School Settings.""Having spent all of my adult life working with, and advocating for, high-quality youth programming, I understand the critical role out-of-school-time (OST) programs play in the social and emotional development of young people. As the Executive Director of the New York State Network for Youth Success, I am thrilled to see such a comprehensive view of current best practices and research on social-emotional learning (SEL) in OST programs. It is exciting and encouraging to see so much documented progress with SEL in OST condensed into one comprehensive book that furthers understanding of both research-informed practices and systems building around policy. This book, edited by two leading researchers in the field, Elizabeth Devaney and Deborah Moroney, should be required reading for any practitioners, policy makers, and educators in the field. Both the editors' and contributors' emphasis on making SEL an ""intentional practice"" is the exact conversation we all should be having right now."" —Kelly Malone Sturgis Executive Director, New York State Network for Youth Success.""Social Emotional Learning and Out-Of-School-Time: Foundations and Futures is an extremely important and timely publication. The scope and depth of this work makes it a must read for any serious out-of-school-time or K-12 educator. In 2014 California identified social emotional learning as the most promising bridge to bring coherence between expanded learning programs and the school day. (A Vision for Expanded Learning in California – Strategic Plan 2014-2016) I have found this to be the exact case. All across California, school day and out-of-school-time professionals are having deep and authentic conversations about youth centered collaborative efforts. We also know that providing social emotional development opportunities is a corner stone for any high quality out-of-school-time program.

Information Age Publishing Competing Frameworks: Global and National in
Book SynopsisFor citizenship education in the 21st century, globalization increasingly presents a new challenge and a new opportunity. Since the time when nationalism played a critical role in unifying new nations, nationality and citizenship have been virtually synonymous terms. As a result, the constructed symbiosis of citizenship and national identity has influenced state supported citizenship education in the most profound way. School curricula, particularly in public schools, produced and reinforced the dominant version of citizenship, which is national citizenship. Schools were expected to prepare future loyal citizens who would identify themselves with the nation.Due to the changing nature and scope of human interactions, the traditional model of citizenship education, however, appears increasingly outdated and deficient to address many contemporary challenges. Thus, schools have become a locus of a potential conflict of two citizenship discourses: the discourse of national citizenship that for a long time has served as the ultimate purpose of public education and the discourse of global citizenship that is forcefully and continuously seeking for a proper place in school curricula despite the lack of curricular heritage. The need for an education for citizenship that has a global scope and is guided by critical and emancipatory approaches becomes more evident. At the same time, the pressure to globalize and internationalize curriculum actively challenges such concepts as patriotism, national identity, loyalty to the state, or national uniqueness of government and democratic development that have been fundamental for citizenship and civic education for decades.In this book, a group of international scholars present their research about the dynamic development, interplay, and interconnectedness of two major discourses in citizenship education, namely national and global. Case studies and ethnographies from China, Cyprus, Egypt, Hong Kong and Singapore, Lebanon, Liberia, the Netherlands, Russia, and the United States display a multifaceted but yet comprehensive picture of educators’ attempts to promote social justice, global awareness, and multiple loyalties. The volume will appeal to several constituencies: it will be interesting to teachers and teacher educators whose focus of instruction is citizenship education, social studies education, and global education; it will also be interesting to scholars who conduct research in citizenship and global education.Table of Contents Introduction: National and Global in Citizenship Education, Anatoli Rapoport.

Information Age Publishing How to Transform Workplace Bullies into Allies
Book SynopsisThe rash of bullying incidents within schools, universities, and workplaces has prompted a public outcry and a call to action. To address the growing problem of interpersonal violence, schools have engaged in anti -bullying rallies, businesses have enacted civility policies, states have passed legislation, and efforts have been made to educate individuals on what constitutes good behavior. Increasingly, institutions are realizing from a cost/benefit perspective that a hurtful environment can negatively impact their bottom line. Correspondingly, the rising number of climate surveys to address bullying at work is a testament to the importance of this topic and its potential negative impact.Colleges and universities confirm the need to create a more welcoming culture, as reflected in the current dialogue to promote civility. Publisher offerings in business ethics are inadequate to address this issue, as they focus on the importance of social responsibility and the fallout from moral turpitude. There is a pressing need for materials that will educate students on “civil” concepts and provide them with applied learning. Institutions of higher education would like to inform students about bullying, its ramifications, and how it can be avoided, but a compendium of related exercises is in most cases non-existent.To solidify student learning about positive citizenship, an established author (and anti-bullying activist) has proposed How to Transform Workplace Bullies into Allies. This unique groundbreaking text will provide hands-on, experiential exercises that will engage students with the material, and create a multi-dimensional focus to enable concept retention. Considered a hallmark of applied education, “learning by doing” will be this book’s primary emphasis. Exercises are designed to sharpen critical thinking, immerse students in real world dilemmas, and provide them with tools for conflict resolution. The emotional intelligence promoted by working through in-text scenarios is a soughtafter employee trait—one that is desired by classmates and career centers alike. Unfortunately, people skills at work have long been ignored in traditional college curricula. As a result, schools are creating graduates who possess technical know-how but not the skill set to effectively navigate personal encounters. The “soft skills” of people savvy, which have been deemed crucial to employee success, are in large part absent from college offerings.By navigating carefully constructed scenarios, web quests, learning modules, and “teachable moments,” readers will develop a keen awareness of what it takes to be a respectful person. Moreover, they will gain expertise in what The Society for Human Resource Management has deemed a critical skill set. Exercises to strengthen incivility awareness are designed not only to prevent potential conflict, but to create change agents within the business arena. Completion of this workbook will provide people with a competitive advantage—and their institution and workplace with a more courteous populace.

Information Age Publishing Voices of Social Education: A Pedagogy of Change
Book SynopsisThere is only one place where social education can occur and flourish: through the voices that create a pedagogy of change. And it is these voices where the most exciting and provocative moments can occur for those of us who are passionate about education, teaching, social justice, equity, and love. As such, social education is a journey—an endeavor that makes us savor the experience of the journey more than the destination. And social education is a journey that ins enhanced through educator and student voices because it occurs in the most important spaces of our personal and professional lives. It occurs in the hallways of the schools we teach, in the staff meetings we attend, in the mountain villages we venture to visit, in the places we work, and in the spaces we occupy. Moreover, social education is a unique kind of journey because it is a human experience that seldom occurs alone. It happens with our colleagues and our loved ones. It happens with our students, administrators, and other professionals who are fighting for the same things that we so fervently believe. In the end, social education occurs and flourishes in the trenches because it is the active pursuit of getting our hands dirty in our endless pursuit for a better and more just world.Social education is also a narrative, which takes on a different meaning for each one of us. This is because sooner or later each person that embarks into the journey of social education develops its own personal definition of what social education entails through his or her own personal landscape and knowledge. This personal landscape has been evolving since we were very young with some of the best examples of human courage and tenacity in the fight for social justice.Voices of Social Education: A Pedagogy for Change is a collection of personal stories. In this volume, academics, teachers, students, activists, and artists share their personal stories of triumph, tribulations, and courage in their daily fight for social justice and equality. The term social education is not defined as a set number of guidelines or a specific definition; we give the term an organic fluency to stress that social education is a point of encounter—a common space—where we can share with each other our experiences, values, and culture to form a more genuine and just social experience.

The term social education is not defined as a set number of guidelines or a specific definition; we give the term an organic fluency to stress that social education is a point of encounter—a common space—where we can share with each other our experiences, values, and culture to form a more genuine and just social experience.

Book SynopsisTeacher-pupil planning means teachers and students working in a partnership to articulate a problem/concern, develop objectives, locate materials/resources, and evaluate progress. The intent of this volume of Middle Level Education and the Self-Enhancing School titled, “School is Life, Not a Preparation for Life”-John Dewey: Democratic Practices in Middle Grades Education, is to take the thoughts about the middle grades school curriculum presented in volume one (Middle Grades Curriculum: Voices and Visions of the Self-Enhancing School) and demonstrate the efforts taking place in teacher education programs and middle grades classrooms today. Volume two is organized into two parts, efforts within teacher education programs and efforts of practitioners in the middle grades classrooms.We asked authors in both contexts to address the following questions: 1. Antecedents: What knowledge, skills and dispositions must be in place in all stakeholders to have teacherpupil planning serve a central role in the middle grades teacher education program or middle grades classroom? 2. Implementation: What does the teacher-pupil planning process look like within your teacher education program or middle grades classroom? 3.

Information Age Publishing (Re)Designing Programs: A Vision for
Book SynopsisGiven the increasing diversity of the United States and students entering schools, the value of teacher learning in clinical contexts, and the need to elevate the profession, national organizations have been calling for a re-envisioning of teacher preparation that turns teacher education upside down. This change will require PK-12 schools and universities to partner in robust ways to create strong professional learning experiences for aspiring teachers. University faculty, in particular, will not only need to work in schools, but they will need to work with schools in the preparation of future teachers. This collaboration should promote greater equity and justice for our nation's students.The purpose of this book is to support individuals in designing clinically based teacher preparation programs that place equity at the core. Drawing from the literature as well as our experiences in designing and coordinating award-winning teacher education programs, we offer a vision for equity-centered, clinically based preparation that promotes powerful teacher professional learning and develops high-quality, equity-centered teachers for schools. The chapter topics include policy guidelines, partnerships, intentional clinical experiences, coherence, curriculum and coursework, university-based teacher educators, school-based teacher educators, teacher candidate supervision and evaluation, the role of research, and instructional leadership in teacher preparation.While the concepts we share are research-based and grounded in the empirical literature, our primary intention is for this book to be of practical use. We hope that by the time you finish reading, you will feel inspired and equipped to make change within your own program, your institution, and your local context. We begin each chapter with a "Before You Read" section that includes introductory activities or self-assessment questions to prompt reflection about the current state of your teacher preparation program. We also weave examples, a "Spotlight from Practice," in the form of vignettes designed to spark your thinking for program improvement. Finally, we conclude each chapter with a section called "Exercises for Action," which are questions or activities to help you (re)imagine and move toward action in the (re)design of your teacher preparation program. We hope that you will use the exercises by yourself, but perhaps more importantly, with others to stimulate conversations about how you can build upon what you are already doing well to make your program even better.Trade ReviewJennifer Jacobs and Rebecca West Burns' book, (Re)Designing Programs: A Vision for Equity-Centered, Clinically Based Teacher Preparation, is a must-read for all teacher educators, especially those involved in the creation and/or direction of clinically based teacher education programs. Their text provides a roadmap for higher education and school-based teacher educators to collaboratively design a program that prepares teachers to meet the needs of future students. They not only redefine the terms and language we use within clinical practice programs but also encourage us to reflect upon how teachers should be prepared in an equity-centered, clinically based teacher education program. Their text deserves to be on the book shelves of all teacher educators."" —D.

Information Age Publishing At the Schoolhouse Gate: Stakeholder Perceptions
Book SynopsisThe objective of this edited volume is to shed light upon K-12 perspectives of various school stakeholders in the current unique context of increasing political polarization and heightened teacher and student activism. It is grounded in academic freedom case law and the majority of opinion of the Supreme Court in the Tinker v. Des Moines Independent Community School District (1969) that held that certain forms of expression are protected by the First Amendment. Justice Fortas wrote in the majority opinion that "it can hardly be argued that either students or teachers shed their constitutional rights to freedom of speech or expression at the schoolhouse gate."This volume is timely and instructive, as protections afforded by the First Amendment are a topic of enduring concern, with such freedoms requiring vigilant advocacy and protection from each generation. Paulo Freire stated, "Citizenship is not obtained by chance: It is a construction that, never finished, demands we fight for it" (1998, p. 90). There is confusion and much debate in and outside of schools about how and when these and other rights described in the First Amendment may or may not be limited, and the time is now to clarify the place of such rights in public education.At the Schoolhouse Gate is divided into three sections: Foundations, Case Studies of Rights in Schools, and Choices to Act. The "Foundations" section presents the case law pertaining to the rights of both teachers and students, setting the tone for what presently is permissible and chronicling the ongoing struggle with defining rights and responsibilities in schools. In "Case Studies of Rights in Schools," various authors examine teacher and student interactions with rights and responsibilities in schools, including the interest of students in participating with their teachers in the democratic experiment of schooling, the promise of student-led conferences, a new teacher's success with democratizing her classroom, and student views of news and technology. "Choices to Act" includes a portrait of teacher activism during the Oklahoma Walkout, a general counsel's advice to teachers for availing themselves of their rights, a story of a civic education curriculum generating student agency, and vignettes of two public high school students who took action in their schools and communities.

Harvard Educational Publishing Group Teach for Climate Justice: A Vision for
Book SynopsisA proactive, inclusive plan for the cross-disciplinary teaching of climate change from preschool to high school.In Teach for Climate Justice, accomplished educator and social and emotional learning expert Tom Roderick proposes a visionary interdisciplinary and intersectional approach to PreK–12 climate education. He argues that meaningful instruction on this urgent issue of our time must focus on climate justice—the convergence of climate change and social justice—in a way that is emotionally safe, developmentally appropriate, and ultimately empowering.Drawing on examples of real-life educators teaching climate change, Roderick identifies eight key dimensions of climate education that will prepare students to face the challenges of the climate crisis and give them the means to take action. These dimensions include not only educating for a deep understanding of the scientific, geopolitical, and socioeconomic equity issues that surround global warming, but also cultivating appreciation for the environment, building a supportive community, and fostering active hope for the future. Roderick's intentional layering of skills will help students develop the knowledge and sense of agency necessary to engage in civil resistance and nonviolent activism. In support of this crucial endeavor, Roderick suggests evidence-based teaching strategies, practices that promote inclusivity, and tools for social and emotional learning.This timely and uplifting book lays out a powerful vision for teaching, learning, and curriculum development to nurture a generation of courageous, informed advocates for climate justice.Trade Review“Teach for Climate Justice is a powerful ‘how to’ guide for environmental education. It is full of practical advice on how to teach students about the urgency of our climate crisis and what they can do to address it, with many illustrative vignettes of the best work in our classrooms and schools. It will be a vital resource for educators working in this critical area.”—Randi Weingarten, president, American Federation of Teachers“Tom Roderick has written a timely and invaluable new book on the most important issue of our time—climate justice. Aimed at educators, he makes it clear that despite the numerous other expectations and responsibilities that have been foisted upon schools, this is a subject that cannot be ignored. Written in a clear and compelling manner, Teach for Climate Justice is a call to action supported by strategies that show us how to take on this important work.”—Pedro Noguera, Emery Stoops and Joyce King Stoops Dean, Rossier School of Education, University of Southern California“This is not a book that tries to scare us into caring about the climate emergency. Tom Roderick shows how the most effective way to teach for climate justice is to turn schools into sites of joy and justice. The book weaves an urgent analysis of the causes and impact of our climate crisis with inspiring classroom stories of teachers who seek to make a difference. Teach for Climate Justice is a festival of wisdom, imagination—and hope.”—Bill Bigelow, curriculum editor, Rethinking Schools and codirector, Zinn Education Project“A viable future depends on young people being more informed as to the root causes of climate change and knowing how to take action. Tom Roderick's Teach for Climate Justice makes the case for why climate education should be central in our curriculum and is filled with informative and inspirational stories of teachers who provide clear examples of how to teach for climate justice. These teachers offer a road map of how to be honest without leaving young people in despair. This is an invaluable book which will hopefully lead to teachers adding many more stories of their own.”—Deborah Menkart, executive director, Teaching for Change
