Teaching to Change the World by Jeannie Oakes

Teaching to Change the World by Jeannie Oakes

Teaching to Change the World is an up-to-the-moment, engaging, social-justice oriented introduction to education and teaching, and the challenges and opportunities they present.

'Teaching to Change the World is the perfect text for new teachersIt is squarely realistic while also inviting; it is information-packed and at the same time engaging. Teaching to Change the World makes me think of jazz – it is multivocal, it highlights classroom improvisation, and it is bound together with a deep rhythm of equity, justice, research, and democracy.'

—Christine Sleeter, Professor Emerita California State University Monterey Bay

'It is rare to find a book that deals so elegantly with the historical, social, philosophical and legal foundations of schooling while also providing tangible strategies for developing exemplary curriculum and instruction and for connecting learning in schools to families, communities, and civic engagement. Oakes, Lipton, Anderson and Stillman’s thoughtful illumination of the "hopeful struggle" is ideal for teachers and school leaders who refuse to choose between their commitments to social justice and academic excellence.'

—Ernest Morrell, University of Notre Dame
