ReplyDeleteTeaching for Joy and Justice
Re-imagining the Language Arts Classroom
By Linda Christensen
Teaching for Joy and Justice is the much-anticipated sequel to Linda Christensen's bestselling, Reading, Writing, and Rising Up. Christensen is recognized as one of the country's finest teachers. Her latest book shows why. Through story upon story, Christensen demonstrates how she draws on students' lives and the world to teach poetry, essay, narrative, and critical literacy skills. Teaching for Joy and Justice reveals what happens when a teacher treats all students as intellectuals, instead of intellectually challenged. Part autobiography, part curriculum guide, part critique of today's numbing standardized mandates, this book sings with hope—born of Christensen's more than 30 years as a classroom teacher, language arts specialist, and teacher educator. Practical, inspirational, passionate: this is a must-have book for every language arts teacher, whether veteran or novice. In fact, Teaching for Joy and Justice is a must-have book for anyone who wants concrete examples of what it really means to teach for social justice.

"Linda Christensen creates passionate curriculum, centered on the lives and voices of her students. In Teaching for Joy and Justice she shows us how her students come to celebrate their own writing, value themselves, and stand up for others. Writing is embedded in curriculum that matters, in discussion about big ideas, and in literature rich with the full range of human experience. It’s a language arts teacher must-read!"
Dear Rethinking Schools friends,
ReplyDeleteOnce again, Rethinking Schools will be exhibiting at the annual American Educational Research Association in San Diego, April 13 through 17. Several Rethinking Schools editors will be attending and leading sessions.
I will be staffing the booth with Bill Bigelow, Tuesday April 14 through Thursday April 16th. We'll be in Booth #433 in the exhibit hall in Sails Pavilion in the San Diego Convention Center. This has been our most productive publication year ever and we have several new titles that we didn't have last year in New York: Rethinking Multicultural Education, edited by Wayne Au, A People's History for the Classroom, by Bill Bigelow; Rethinking Early Childhood Education, edited by Ann Pelo; and the DVD Unlearning "Indian" Stereotypes. We'll have all these at special discounted prices. And we will also be taking advance orders (at 50% off!) for Linda Christensen's new book, Teaching for Joy and Justice: Re-imagining the Language Arts Classroom, which will be out in May.
Please drop by, check out our books and magazines, and say hello.
On Monday, April 13, Wayne Au and Linda Christensen will be the featured speakers at the John Dewey Annual Symposium. 2:15 to 3:45: San Diego Marriott Hotel & Marina, Room: Marina Ballroom Salon D.
Wayne Au will also be presenting at "Critical Theorists, Citizens, and Neo-Griots: The Legacy of Paulo Freire Across Texts and Contexts," Thu, Apr 16 - 2:15pm - 3:45pm, San Diego Convention Center / Room 23C; and "Teachers' Work/Teacher Unions SIG Business Meeting: Exploring Social Justice Teacher Unionism," Thu, Apr 16 - 6:15pm - 7:45pm, San Diego Convention Center / Room 25B.
