By lifting up the role of the citizen teacher, his challenge is clear: we cannot run from the problems of the world and hide in our classrooms. Instead, we must organize and build with those who know their oppression and work to abolish it permanently." ?David Stovall, Professor, Black Studies and Criminology, Law, and Justice, University of Illinois at Chicago, USA "This is an exciting book that points the way forward for educators and all who care about transforming schools towards democracy, justice, and liberation. With a compelling vision, powerful stories, and practical guidance, it shows why and how teachers can become community organizers, creating equitable schools in deep partnership with families, students, and communities. Get this book, read it, and use it!" ?Mark R. Warren, Professor, University of Massachusetts Boston, USA, and author of Willful Defiance: The Movement to Dismantle the School-to-Prison Pipeline This book explores how citizen teachers can expand our capacities to generate more equitable and just spaces with families by working as community organizers. Paying particular attention to community organizing work in one elementary school, the book weaves stories and examples with theoretical understandings to support emerging citizen teachers in creating more democratic spaces. Each chapter provides key community organizing concepts and skills and offers lessons learned to identify what worked and what did not. By building solidarity with families, citizen teachers can effectively activate more powerful practices grounded in the lives of students, their families, and their communities while articulating a broader response to the conditions impactingeducators. Gerald K. Wood is Associate Professor of Educational Foundations in the Department of Educational Leadership at Northern Arizona University, USA. His work focuses broadly on the intersections of critical geographies and community organizing. He has worked with Industrial Areas Foundations affiliates and has been involved in broad-based organizing and youth organizing work. . 606 $aTeachers$xTraining of 606 $aSchools 606 $aClassroom management 606 $aEarly childhood education 606 $aTeaching and Teacher Education 606 $aSchool Research 606 $aSchool and Schooling 606 $aClassroom management 606 $aEarly Childhood Education 615 0$aTeachers$xTraining of. 615 0$aSchools. 615 0$aClassroom management. 615 0$aEarly childhood education. 615 14$aTeaching and Teacher Education. 615 24$aSchool Research. 615 24$aSchool and Schooling. 615 24$aClassroom management. 615 24$aEarly Childhood Education. 676 $a370.1931 676 $a371.19 700 $aWood$b Gerald K.$0274584 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 912 $a9910624381403321 996 $aCitizen Teachers and the Quest for a Democratic Society$92963207 997 $aUNINA
