Abstract:
Synopsis: Rethinking Our Classrooms begins where most school reforms never go, inside the classroom. This collection includes creative teaching ideas, compelling classroom narratives and hands-on examples of ways teachers can promote values of community, justice, and equality--and build academic skills. Nowhere is the connection between critical teaching and effective classroom practice made clearer or more accessible. Includes: Building Classroom Communities from Chaos -- Unlearning the Myths that Bind Us: Critiquing Fairy Tales & Films -- Race and Respect Among Young Children -- Why Students Should Study History: An Interview with Howard Zinn -- Flirting vs. Sexual Harassment -- Teaching for Social Justice: One Teacher's Journey -- Statistics with a Conscience -- How to Analyze Children's Books for Racism and Sexism -- Books to Empower Young People -- I Won't Learn from You! Confronting Student Resistance -- Beyond the Classroom: Why Changing Classrooms Is Not Enough.
