Talking Equity in Polarized Times
Stories and Strategies from Teachers and Students
About this book
How can teachers help students navigate tough topics in an increasingly politicized world? Featuring perspectives from teachers and students across the country, this unique book provides hope, applicable knowledge, and practical skills for teachers to address a range of current issues—including race, LGBTQIA+ advocacy, diversity and equity, civic engagement, ability and disability, school safety, social-emotional learning, immigration, and environmental justice.
Each chapter addresses one of those controversial issues and examines how teachers are grappling with it in their own classrooms. Each chapter is also informed by youths' insights, drawn from the authors' work with the Youth Research Council and the Through Students' Eyes project. Features include suggested resources, reflection questions, and talking points to support teachers in framing discussions of the topic positively and accurately.
With the voices and skills in this book, you'll be able to work with these issues no matter your own teaching contexts.
