Surrendered: Why Progressives Are Losing the Biggest Battles in Education

Angebote / Angebote:

In this dynamic book, Kevin Kumashiro offers a necessary intervention to help progressive educators and advocates take back public education. This book highlights how the broader Left (progressives, liberals, Democrats, teacher unions, civil rights organizations) are often talking about the "problem" in ways that were framed by forces quite counter to the goals of democracy and justice, and in so doing, advancing "solutions" that cannot help but be counterproductive. Kumashiro explains when, why, and how this has happened, particularly regarding the insidious nature of popular "reforms." He also dives into some of the biggest battles in education today, such as affirmative action, free speech and hate speech, bullying and violence, teacher shortages, and student debt. Surrendered offers a different path forward for K-12 and higher education by showing readers how to establish a progressive agenda, employ language, and harness evidence more effectively. -- Provided by publisher.
