Beskrivning

Despite an increase in efforts to promote equity and social justice in educational settings, researchers have found that teachers at the elementary, middle school, and secondary school levels are both reluctant and unaware of how to present social justice issues in the classroom. Inspired by these findings, a team of literacy scholars gathered qualitative research from eight schools across Canada to reveal what challenges literacy teachers face when incorporating social justice in their curricula. Rich in examples of contemporary Canadian social justice authors, illustrators, and texts, Challenging Stories equips teachers and teacher candidates with strategies for text selection, literacy development, and effective social justice teaching methods. With a foreword by Joyce Bainbridge, this collection is an essential read for students in teacher education programs.
