Against Common Sense: Teaching and Learning Toward Social Justice
Kevin K. Kumashiro
About This Book
What does it mean to teach for social justice? Drawing on his own classroom experiences, leading author and educator Kevin K. Kumashiro examines various aspects of anti-oppressive teaching and learning and their implications for six different subject areas and various grade levels. Celebrating 20 years as a go-to resource for K-12 teachers and teacher educators, this 4th edition of the bestselling Against Common Sense: Teaching and Learning Toward Social Justice features:
• An expanded introduction that examines teaching in today's context of censorship and attacks on diversity, democracy, and teaching truth;
• New sections on teacher preparation, social studies, reading and writing, and the arts;
• Updated lists of resources in every chapter;
• Graphics, teacher responses, and discussion questions to enhance comprehension and help translate theory into practice across the disciplines.
Compelling and accessible, the 4th edition of Against Common Sense continues to offer readers the tools they need to begin teaching against their commonsensical assumptions and toward democracy and justice.
