Beschreibung

In this collection, Literacy and Learning in Times of Crisis: Emergent Teaching Through Emergencies, the contributors offer insights from theoretical, historical, and pedagogical lenses and these critical insights emerge out of their academic, scholarly, and personal experiences of teaching during crises. In some cases, authors have taught while battling COVID, and others have done so while addressing and acknowledging school-based violence. While some teach the analysis of the discourse of crisis, others critique the missteps of policy-making during calamity. More so, some authors examine the finesse of micro-teaching at emotional levels; others find the means to develop macro-structures of programmatic curriculum. Literacy and Learning in Times of Crisis highlights the educational decision making that educators have used to cope with the dilemmas that they and their students have faced at the turn of the millennium. Specifically, contributors to this collection offer a broad range of experiences, expertise, and engagement with pedagogy during emergencies that we currently face but also frame issues of emergencies that will inevitably challenge educators in the future.

Rezensionen

"To live right now is to live in a state of constant emergency, whether because of the climate crisis, global pandemic, racial and gender violence, or any number of other disasters. The contributors of this volume provide an unflinching examination of what literacy teachers are up against while also offering a way forward. Literacy and Learning in Times of Crisis offers thoughtful and systemic analysis of the impact of these traumas in our classrooms alongside teaching practices to help us develop a necessary praxis for our students and for ourselves with an eye towards survival." -Amy J. Wan, Queens College and the CUNY Graduate Center
