Produktbeschreibung
Transformative Teachers offers an insightful look at the growing movement of civic-minded educators who are using social media and other participatory practices to organize change from the ground up. Kira J. Baker-Doyle highlights the collaborative, grassroots tactics that activist teachers are implementing to transform their profession and pursue greater social justice and equity in education. The book profiles fifteen transformative teachers who are changing the face of education, features three case studies of organizational allies (Edcamps, the Philadelphia Education Fund, and the Connected Learning Alliance), and includes insights from a wide range of educational leaders. Transformative Teachers offers a clear and compelling vision of the potential for grassroots change in education. "This book is a reminder that transformative teaching didn't begin with the Internet. There is a rich history of teachers and learners working together to explore and better the world. Baker-Doyle captures stories of true transformative teachers, and outlines how they, and others, can take up thoughtful practices that will change lives for the better. Along the way, she folds theory and practice into useful ways forward for the teachers of today and tomorrow. I highly recommend this text." --Bud Hunt, information technology and technical services manager, Clearview Library District, Colorado Featured Educators Joshua Block Kelley Collings Allison Frick Annie Huynh Tara Linney John McCrann Kathleen Melville Noga Newberg Meeno Rami Samuel Reed Christopher Rogers Scott Storm José Luis Vilson Anissa Weinraub >Kira J.
