Reviews

Few challenges in teacher preparation are as salient as teaching the central, troubling concepts of social justice that many profoundly resist learning. With theoretical nuance, pedagogical savvy, and highly relate-able examples and self-reflections, <i>Cultivating Social Justice Teachers</i> shows the possibilities for doing what often seems impossible. This book is one that no teacher educator--or any educator--can or should do without. --<b>Kevin Kumashiro</b>, author of <i>Bad Teacher!: How Blaming Teachers Distorts the Bigger Picture</i>
