Writing and Teaching to Change the World: Connecting with Our Most Vulnerable Students
Stephanie JonesNWP's Price: $22.50
Perfect for use in teacher preparation courses and professional learning groups, Writing and Teaching to Change the World shows what critical pedagogy looks like and identifies the conditions needed for it to emerge in the K–12 classroom. Focusing on and documenting their experiences with one of their most disenfranchised students, six teachers analyze and rethink what they do in the classroom and why they do it. In so doing, each comes to re-imagine who they are as teachers and as individuals. This engaging collection illuminates writing as a powerful tool for thinking deeply about how and why teachers respond to students in particular ways.

—From the foreword by Anne Lieberman, senior scholar at Stanford University
"Kudos to Stephanie Jones and her colleagues for making moral sense of the day-to-day crafts of education."
