Written by an English and history teacher in a Philadelphia public high school, this book presents a framework of teaching for a living democracy-supporting learners to produce intellectually rigorous and creative work by designing instruction that intersects with students' lives and interests. The text offers project-based units of study and classroom practices that allow students to reconfigure understandings of themselves, their capabilities, and their roles in the world. Packed with student voices and the work of youth, this book provides a rich window into classroom practices that challenge authoritarian tendencies while cultivating dignity and agency.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBook Features:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e   \u003cli\u003eShares a vision of project-based inquiry learning that is rooted in systemic understandings of social change.\u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003eProvides a pragmatic framework and tools to help teachers develop their practice in creative and sustainable ways.\u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003eShows how to support diverse learners, with a special focus on the experiences of students who struggle.\u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003eIncludes many classroom scenes and examples of curriculum design strategies. \u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003eOffers the realistic perspective of a teacher working in an urban public high school.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eForeword\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAcknowledgments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1. \u003cbr\u003eReframing School Learning\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Teaching for a Living Democracy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChanging the Grammar of Schooling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMy Teaching Context and Background\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAgency and Possibility\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2. \u003cbr\u003eDesigning Curriculum for Deeper Learning\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Immigration Oral History Projects\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdvanced Essay Process\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eModern Day de Tocquevilles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3. \u003cbr\u003eElevating Student Voices and Truths\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Acknowledging and Honoring Students'\u003cbr\u003e Realities\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBulding Cohesive Classroom Communities\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaking Learning Complex and Real\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrioritizing Student Voices, Decentralizing the Classroom\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4. \u003cbr\u003eEnvisioning New Roles for Teachers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Reframing Teacher Voice\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTeachers as Facilitators\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTeachers as Lead Collaborators\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTeachers as Consultants and Scholars\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e5. \u003cbr\u003eDecolonizing School\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInsights from Aotearoa, New Zealand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBiculturalism and Creating Space in Schools\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Re-PLACE-ing Project\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOur Philadelphia, Our America\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e6. \u003cbr\u003eEngaging Multiple Realities of Teaching  \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003efor a Living Democracy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eArt in the Open\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e The Messy Process of Creation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Navigating Intolerance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEngaging Issues of the World\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEpilogue: For Teachers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAppendix: Additional Classroom Resources\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReferences\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIndex\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n","brand":"Teachers College Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52555589779736,"sku":"9780807764169","price":27.88,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/teaching-for-a-living-democracy-project-based-learning-in-the-english-and-history-classroom-paperback-softback-9780807764169","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
