NEW from Rethinking Schools
|
We revised and expanded this classic text for teaching social justice mathematics. The book includes 50 articles that will help you weave social justice principles throughout your math curriculum. When you use the teaching ideas and lessons in this book, your students will come to understand, like Freida, a 9th grade student in Chicago, that "you could use math to defend your rights and realize the injustices around you... sort of like a pass you could use to try to make the world a better place."
|
Break the silence in your classroom about U.S. military engagement in the Middle East. This collection contains the best writing from Rethinking Schools on war and peace in the 21st century. The U.S. has been at war the entire time your students have been in school. Help them understand the context, think critically about U.S. foreign policy, and explore alternative approaches to solving problems internationally.
Bonus: Listen to an interview with editor Jody Sokolower about why it's important we continue to discuss and teach about war.

Rethinking Elementary Education
This outstanding collection of our best writing on elementary school learning won a Benjamin Franklin Gold Award from the Independent Book Publishers Association (IBPA). See for yourself why Rethinking Elementary Education has become an instant classic and an indispensable resource for social justice elementary educators.
|
This collection of outstanding articles examines how and what popular toys, books, films, music and other media "teach." The book earned us a Skipping Stones Honor Award in 2012. Pick up a copy for practical teaching strategies and strong critiques by elementary and secondary public school teachers, scholars, and activists.

Other award winners in our collection include:
|
The resistance to high-stakes testing continues to grow and spread across the country, thanks to efforts by teachers, students, and parents in Seattle, Chicago, and New York City, where unions and activists are organizing opt-out campaigns. Pencils Down is the perfect handbook for your activist efforts. Through thoughtful and emotional essays, the book exposes the damage standardized testing wreaks on our schools, reports on the resistance movement, and offers visionary forms of assessment that are more democratic, fair, and accurate.
|
Weekly planning pages are packed with important social justice dates and historical events, tips from social justice teachers, inspirational quotes, thought-provoking questions, and reproducible social justice awards for students. Published by the New York Collective of Radical Educators and the Education for Liberation Network.
