Book Description
For nearly a decade, Teaching for Diversity and Social Justice has been the definitive sourcebook of theoretical foundations and curricular frameworks for social justice teaching practice. This thoroughly revised second edition continues to provide teachers and facilitators with an accessible pedagogical approach to issues of oppression in classrooms. Building on the groundswell of interest in social justice education, the second edition offers coverage of current issues and controversies while preserving the hands-on format and inclusive content of the original. Teaching for Diversity and Social Justice presents a well-constructed foundation for engaging the complex and often daunting problems of discrimination and inequality in American society.
Special Features of the Second Edition:
- Presents four new curriculum designs for additional forms of oppression— racism, immigration, and globalism; transgender oppression; religious oppression; ageism and adultism – and fully revised designs for other social justice topics
- Incorporates thoroughly updated resources, references and examples
- Includes a CD-ROM with extensive appendices for participant handouts and facilitator preparation
- Offers practical curriculum designs for integrating social justice issues into standard semester formats or briefer curricular options
- Provides relevant commentary and trouble-shooting to address typical participant fears and challenges

Fantastic Resource,
By Alina Torres - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Teaching for Diversity and Social Justice (Paperback)
This book is a magnificent work filled with easily executed exercises to demonstrate diversity and social justice practices. If you are needing a training exercise, an exploration of a topic such as gender or race, or possibly an activity for a classroom or business diversity training - this is your one stop shopping resource!It also offers many practical examples of quizzes, activities and other items that can be used for whatever issue you want to talk about. The references and extensive resource list provide for further work in areas of race, gender, ability and other subjects on diversity. There are even suggested curriculum formats provided in the appendix. I cannot say enough about the usefulness of this book, the ease of using it for all levels of knowledge and the variety of ways it can be used for diversity education. |
