NEW IN THE TEACHING FOR SOCIAL JUSTICE SERIES

Teaching and Learning on the VergeDemocratic Education in ActionShanti Elliott directs the Civic Engagement program at the Francis W. Parker School in Chicago. She also co-leads the Teachers’ Inquiry Project and teaches in the School of Education and Social Policy at Northwestern University.

This imaginative and practical guide proposes that teachers who think of learning as “playing with power” tap the creative and subversive energies of young people, making academic work far more consequential than a piece of paper with a grade on it. Based on 20 years of teaching experience and research in schools across the country (including Rudy Lozano Leadership Academy in Chicago, June Jordan School for Equity in San Francisco, and Urban Academy in New York), Teaching and Learning on the Verge demonstrates how educators in all disciplines can integrate civic engagement, multicultural literacy, and leadership into their classrooms and programs.

Foreword by Pedro Noguera

Written by activist educators, Worth Striking For examines the drastic changes in the landscape of public education in recent decades and focuses on what teachers need to know about the debates and complex issues of reform. Using the 2012 Chicago teachers strike as a framing device, the authors demonstrate how each of the policy areas addressed is critically important to teachers’ lives and work. The text features individually authored vignettes that juxtapose the authors’ personal experiences with the issues, bringing policy and policy activism to life for pre- and inservice teachers.

What Kind of Citizen?Educating Our Children for the Common Good Joel Westheimer is professor and university research chair in democracy and education at the University of Ottawa and education columnist for CBC Radio.

How can schools teach the skills required for a strong democracy to flourish? What Kind of Citizen? asks readers to imagine the kind of society they would like to live in—and then shows the ways in which schools can be used to make that vision a reality. Westheimer draws on groundbreaking research on school programs and policies to sharply critique the current direction of school reform. He points to the many varied and powerful ways to teach children and young adults to engage critically, to think about social issues, and to participate in authentic debate that acknowledges that intelligent adults can have different opinions.

“If you are tired of reading books about education reforms that promise quick fixes and improved efficiency in education, this book by Joel Westheimer is for you.”

—Pasi Sahlberg, Harvard Graduate School of Education

“Westheimer issues a welcome invitation to connect our conception of the ideal school to its impact on our broader society.”

—Alfie Kohn, educator and bestselling author

“Joel Westheimer has written a necessary and brilliant book. “

—Henry Giroux, McMaster Univeristy

“Joel Westheimer argues persuasively that the current emphasis on standardization in the schools not only diminishes teacher professionalism, but conflicts with citizenship education.”

—Diane Ravitch, New York University

“This book is compelling, very accessible, full of inspiring examples, and sometimes even funny. It’s a book that every teacher should have.”

—Andy Hargreaves, Boston College

“In this practical, personal, and hopeful work, Joel Westheimer asks us to imagine the kind of people we want to be—and how schools can help us become those people.”

—Bill Bigelow, Rethinking Schools

“In this persuasive book, Joel Westheimer reminds us that, in our zeal for higher test scores, we seem to have forgotten the highest aim of education—to produce better people, more thoughtful citizens.”

—Nel Noddings, Stanford University

From Charity to EquityRace, Homelessness, and Urban Schools Ann Aviles de Bradley is assistant professor of educational foundations in the Department of Educational Inquiry and Curriculum Studies at Northeastern Illinois University.Foreword by Marvin Lynn

“Succinctly captures a conversation many in the United States are afraid to engage in: the relationship between race and homelessness.”

—David Stovall, University of Illinois at Chicago“This book will completely transform the way we think about how to address the needs of homeless youth in our schools.”

—Marvin Lynn, dean, School of Education, Indiana University South BendThrough interviews with youth experiencing homelessness, readers are challenged to see implementation of the McKinney–Vento Act (1987) not as charity but as an issue of legislated social justice and to work towards educational equity for students experiencing homelessness.

Race and the Origins of Progressive Education, 1880–1929Thomas D. Fallace is an associate professor of social studies education at William Paterson University of New Jersey.

“In this bold and brilliant study, Thomas Fallace uses our present-day racial lens to critique our historic dogmas about progressive education. We might not like what we see, but we should not look away.”

—Jonathan Zimmerman, New York UniversityInherently ethnocentric and racist, the theory of recapitulation was pervasive in the social sciences at the turn of the 20th century when early progressive educators uncritically adopted its basic tenets. The theory pointed to the West as the developmental endpoint of history and depicted people of color as ontologically less developed than their white counterparts. Building on cutting-edge scholarship, this is the first major study to trace the racial world-views of key progressive thinkers, such as Colonel Francis W. Parker, John Dewey, Charles Judd, William Bagley, and many others.

“Allison Skerrett shows in this book that teachers can mitigate harm through specific choices in their teaching, by viewing difference as a resource that is available to a greater degree when we are fortunate enough to have transnational students in our classrooms.”

—Randy Bomer, The College of Education, University of Texas at Austin This is the first book to specifically address the needs of youth who live and go to school across the United States and other nations, including Mexico and different Caribbean islands.

Reading Upside DownIdentifying and Addressing Opportunity Gaps in Literacy Instruction Deborah L. Wolter is an elementary teacher consultant in Ann Arbor Michigan public schools. Visit her website at readingupsidedown.wordpress.com

“The book not only challenges the status quo but offers a rational alternative that would benefit every struggling reader. I hope Reading Upside Down initiates a widespread movement to undo so much of what we have done in the name of

‘helping’ children who struggle with learning to read.”—Richard L. Allington, University of Tennessee

Reading Upside Down explores eight key factors that contribute to reading challenges in developing readers, including school readiness, the use of prescribed phonics-based programs, physical hurdles, unfamiliarity with English, and special education labeling. It focuses on the differences that educators can make for individual students and suggests ways to address early opportunity gaps.

This book explores such timely issues as the under-education of Black males, the place and importance of scapegoats in our culture, the on-the-ground reality of zero tolerance, the role of mainstream media in constructing Black masculinity, and the criti-cal relationships between schools and prisons.

“A remarkable new book.. . . Wise and energetic advocates such as Kahlenberg and Potter can take the charter movement in new and useful directions.”

—The Washington PostMoving beyond the debate over whether or not charter schools should exist, A Smarter Charter wrestles with the question of what kind of charter schools we should encourage. The book begins by tracing the evolution of charter schools and then examines two key reforms currently seen in a small but growing number of charter schools that have the potential to improve performance and reshape the stereotypical image of what it means to be a charter school.

Diversity and EducationA Critical Multicultural ApproachMichael Vavrus Foreword by Wayne Au

“A must-read for anyone concerned about why so many policies claim-ing to ‘help’ diverse students fail and what alternatives exist.”

—Christine Sleeter, professor emerita, California State University, Monterey Bay

In his new book, Michael Vavrus helps readers bet-ter understand why issues of diversity and differ-ence are so highly contested in the United States and across the globe. Diversity and Education is designed to help educators move beyond the “how can they believe that?” knee-jerk reaction toward a more informed, strategic understanding of belief systems and political affiliations.

Failing at SchoolLessons for Redesigning Urban High Schools Camille A. FarringtonRoughly half of all incoming ninth-graders across urban districts will fail classes and drop out of school. Failing at School starts with the premise

that urban American high schools generate such widespread student failure because they were designed to stratify achievement and let only the top performers advance to higher levels of educa-tion. To get different results, Farrington proposes fundamental changes based on what we now know about how students learn, what motivates them to engage in learning, and what kinds of educational structures would best support their learning.
