Description
Book SynopsisBuilding on the concept of a teaching community, Heble and his contributors explore what it might mean for teachers and students to reach outside the walls of the classroom and attempt to establish meaningful connections between the ideas and theories they have learned and the broader community beyond campus.
Trade Review"Classroom Action is a book of passionate praxis, strongest when students and instructor dig into the pragmatic details of a project or course: what does theory look like, and how does it transform, on the ground in real time? " -- Julian Gunn * Canadian Literature Reviews, 234 Autumn 2017 *
