Description

The phrase "teaching for social justice" is often used, but not always
explained. What does it look like to teach for social justice? What are the
implications for anti-oppressive teaching across different areas of the
curriculum? Drawing on his own experiences teaching diverse grades and
subjects, leading author and educator Kevin Kumashiro examines various
aspects of anti-oppressive teaching and learning in six different subject
areas. Celebrating 10 years as a go-to resource for K-12 teachers and
teacher educators, this third edition of the bestselling Against Common
Sense features: • A new introduction that addresses the increased
challenges of anti-oppressive teaching in an era of teacher evaluations,
standardization and ever-increasing accountability. • End of chapter
teacher responses that provide subject-specific examples of what anti-
oppressive teaching really looks like in the classroom. • End of chapter
questions for reflection that will enhance comprehension and help readers
translate abstract ideas into classroom practice. • Additional readings and
resources to inspire students to further their social justice education.
Compelling and accessible, Against Common Sense continues to offer readers
the tools they need to begin teaching against their common sense
assumptions and toward social justice.
