Education is naturally transformative, but the acquisition of new skills and construction of new knowledge are only possible when we empower students instead of forcing their conformity. Our current compliance-based teaching methodologies rely on coercion, conditioning and external motivators that engender submission and fear in students and teachers. These practices are divisive and destructive to the learning process. This book discusses ways of replacing the banking model of instruction with new approaches, valuing the identity, dignity, and humanity of our students.
"John has been in the trenches of secondary and higher education for many years, and throughout this time he has held tight to a student-centered approach that emphasizes equal measures of caring, thought, refl ection, humility, and action. The ideas shared in this book are relevant and important for any teacher who considers themselves a lifelong learner and an advocate for students."
-Bill Barrett, Head of School Landmark School
"The Use of Force" is a must read for educators. We are at a critical time in this fi eld and arguably, the only way to move forward is through a radical re-thinking about the role of the educator. Brown's approach provides insight into what this future could - and should - look like."
-Dr. Danielle Ricci, Principal Amesbury High School
"Brown takes us on a journey with which both veteran educators and new teachers will identify. Both confessional and fi lled with purpose, he reveals the places where our system is dysfunctional, as well as where and how to start mending it."
-Patrick Larkin, Dean of Students Lexington High School
