Developed in years of classroom experience with diverse children, the book will help more experienced teachers take the next step in their professional growth, while providing newer teachers with a picture of how the largest purposes in democratic education connect to the details of teaching.A unique, reader-friendly guide for bringing critical literacy into reading and writing workshops, For a Better World demonstrates how to:
- support students' writing for public purposes and connect their personal writing to important social issues
- facilitate more meaningful talk in the classroom
- develop students' language and concepts for discussing significant social and political ideas in response to literature
- help students inquire into the daily politics of classroom life
- integrate social studies, writing, and literature in experiential, inquiry-based ways
